WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange ’s battle to avoid extradition to the United States has received a huge boost, with London’s High Court ruling that US assurances over his case are unsatisfactory and he will get a full appeal hearing.
James Lewis, representing the US authorities, said in court documents the assurance “cannot bind the courts”, but the US courts would “take solemn notice and give effect so far as they are able to a promise given by the executive”. Protesters gathered outside the court, tying yellow ribbons to the iron railings, holding placards and chanting “Free, free Julian Assange”. In a plea to US President Joe Biden, flags read “#Let him go Joe”.
