The ongoing Julian Assange saga got its latest dramatic twist earlier today when the U.K.’s High Court ruled that the Wikileaks founder could seek an appeal to last year’s American extradition ruling. Assange has argued that his situation “has points that Supreme Court justices may want to consider ahead of the U.K. extraditing him,” according to a report from CNET.
The controversial political figure has been held in Belmarsh Prison since being evicted from a 7-year Ecuadorian Embassy asylum residency in 2019. The court’s newest decision in no way guarantees Assange’s hopes, but simply allows for the country’s Supreme Court to weigh whether or not they will even consider his case.
