Perhaps some new hope for Julian Assange, imprisoned in London: WikiLeaks founder from Australia, Julian Assange, here an archive photo, can appeal against his extradition to the USA at the Supreme Court in the UK. A corresponding application had been granted, a London court announced on Monday. The Supreme Court in London must now decide whether to allow the appeal. Speaking outside the courthouse, Stella Moris, lawyer, fiancee of Assange and mother of their two young children, said: “What happened in court today is exactly what we wanted. The High Court has confirmed that we have a point of law of general of public importance and that the Supreme Court has good reason to hear this appeal. Now the Supreme Court has to decide whether to allow the appeal, but we certainly won in court today. But let’s not forget that ourselves every time we win, as long as this case is not ended, as long as Julian is not released, Julian continues to suffer.” “Julian needs to be released and we hope that will end soon, but we are a long way from getting justice in this case because Julian has been in prison for so long and he shouldn’t have spent a single day in prison.” A possible extradition of Assange to the USA has been a matter of debate for a long time, including from a legal point of view. In 2010, Assange released secret US documents via his WikiLeaks disclosure platform. Since then, the US governments have accused him of violating espionage laws, among other things. For his supporters, however, Assange is someone who exposed war crimes by US-led troops in the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, among others.
