Stella Assange urges Joe Biden to ‘do the right thing’ and drop prosecution Julian Assange has been granted leave to appeal against his extradition to the US after judges ruled that “assurances” given by the US over his legal rights and the prospect of a death penalty were not satisfactory. There were gasps of relief from his wife and supporters in court. Outside the court, Stella Assange again called on the US president, Joe Biden, to “do the right thing” and drop the prosecution.
WikiLeaks editor-in-chief Kristinn Hrafnsson called the ruling a “glimmer of hope” for Assange. The Guardian has editorialised on the result, saying the decision was a “victory for good sense” and that a political resolution is by far the most desirable outcome. The president of Brazil, Lula da Silva, wrote on social media that he hoped the persecution of Assange ends and he “returns to the freedom he deserves”.
