High Court decision today.
read the differing takes from the BBC website :
"Two judges at the High Court in London said they would give the United States government three weeks to provide assurances that Assange could rely on the First Amendment to the US constitution (which protects free speech) and that he would not be prejudiced at trial or sentence by reason of his Australian nationality; nor would he be sentenced to death if convicted. According to the ruling, a decision on the appeal has been adjourned to 20 May "

Stella Assange says she is "astounded" by the court's decision to delay her husband's appeal.
She reminds people that Assange has been held in Belmarsh prison for almost five years without charge adding the judgement highlights Assange "remains exposed to the death penalty"
"Yet what the courts have done is to invite a political intervention from the US," she adds.

Ruling says US extradition request 'not politically motivated'

We all know, having seen the Shenanigans over Harry Dunn's death, the the UK is politically and legally the USofA's biatch.

Assange is going to have an accident while in custody.

I disengage, I turn the page.

I am puzzled. Exactly what do you think is unreasonable in the ruling by the High Court Judges? They have access to a great deal more than we do and their careful approach seems perfectly reasonable to me. Seeking reassurances that his rights will be protected whilst ensuring he answers and defends what he is accused of makes perfect sense.

I think he is a piece of s***e who deserves everything that's come his way but also that he is entitled to be able to defend himself and that we are entitled to demand answers before extraditing him.

For the avoidance of doubt any comments in response to a previous post are directed to its ideas and not at any, or all, posters personally.

Architect of his own downfall. Ran away from the Swedish justice system then ran away to the Ecuadorian embassy from British justice. He's been in gaol because he keeps running away.

If he had showed up at court and made his case he would be on bail and who knows he might have won. No sympathy.

One more point

In many ways I agree, however, if Assange were walking around freely would he be fine? What about other charges against him - true or not? What do you think might possibly happen? And there is, of course, the pragmatism of the US/UK relationship - how would it be affected?
You genuinely think the US would just leave it there?

I guess that's the cheap option.
