Julian Assange will NOT be extradited today, but he’s not safe yet.

Julian Assange has had 3 of the 9 grounds of appeal put forward by his team upheld, but he's not out of the woods yet.
Right, so the High Court has granted Julian Assange limited leave to appeal today, in his fight against extradition to the US for the crime of basically being an investigative journalist, it would set a seriously dangerous precedent as far as holding power to account and the freedom of the press, not to mention freedom of expression and free speech, if Assange gets extradited on the ridiculous claims the US have made against him. Extradition, given Assange’s health would almost certainly end up being a death sentence for him, if something or someone else doesn’t kill him first, as details of a CIA plot have emerged and been ignored, however there is a big but in all of this extradition business.
Two High Court judges have granted Assange leave to appeal on three of the nine grounds for appeal that he has brought, so hope, although still slim, remains and this extradition could yet be stopped:
Right, so that was a clip of Al Jazeera’s coverage outlining the ruling this morning that has been handed down giving Julian Assange right to appeal on three of the nine grounds that he had brought and the Judgement summation outlines this quite clearly, but and there’s a big but here, the US may be able to avert that appeal still:
‘The Divisional Court considers that Mr Assange has a real prospect of success on 3 of the 9 grounds for appeal (grounds iv), v) and ix)). It has given the Government of the United States of America and the Secretary of State an opportunity to offer assurances that would address those grounds for appeal. Unless satisfactory assurances are provided, the Court will grant leave to appeal on those grounds for appeal. The Court refuses leave to appeal on the other 6 grounds, which do not have any merit.
Mr Assange will not, therefore, be extradited immediately. The Court has given the Government of the United States 3 weeks to give satisfactory assurances: That Mr Assange is permitted to rely on the First Amendment to the United States (which protects free speech), that he is not prejudiced at trial (including sentence) by reason of his nationality, that he is afforded the same First Amendment protections as a United States citizen and that the death penalty is not imposed.
If those assurances are not given, then leave to appeal will be given and there will then be an appeal hearing. If assurances are given then the parties will have a further opportunity to make representations and there will be a further hearing on 20th May 2024 to decide if the assurances are satisfactory and to make a final decision on leave to appeal.’
So basically the US have three weeks to provide satisfactory assurances that Assange will have First Amendment rights protecting free speech taken into account, that he cannot be discriminated against by virtue of being Australian and not American and that the death penalty is off the table, these were the grounds of appeal iv,v and ix that were accepted by the court as legitimate and having merit.Show more

►ABOUT ME:
Hi, I'm Damien Willey. I'm a former welder, but now I'm a writer, blogger, vlogger and presenter and interviewer with Socialist Telly (Please do go and visit what we all get up to on https://www.youtube.com/c/SocialistTelly)
I'm an unpaid carer for my disabled wife and daughter and as such we know all too well the difficulties that associated with that living in Tory Britain and I personally believe the answer lies in socialism.
This channel, along with my other social media act as outlets to push back against that, to demand better of our politicians and leaders, to pull apart the media spin that supports them and the way the UK is run and to give a voice, loud as mine is, to the voiceless.
