The High Court of Justice in London granted Wikileaks founder Julian Assange permission to bring a new appeal against extradition to the U.S. after his lawyers argued the case against him in America is politically motivated. The U.S. Justice Department argues that Assange, who has been resisting extradition in the U.K. for over a decade, endangered lives when he leaked confidential information about the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan in 2010 and 2011. BBC News has more.
#Wikileaks founder Julian #Assange can bring a new appeal against extradition to the US, the High Court has ruled.
He was granted permission to appeal against the order that he be sent to the US to stand trial for leaking military secrets, which prosecutors say endangered lives.
Assange darf Berufung gegen Auslieferung an die USA einlegen
Es ist ein Etappensieg für WikiLeaks-Mitbegründer Assange. Er darf in Großbritannien Berufung gegen seine Auslieferung an die USA einlegen. Der High Court in London hält die Zusicherungen der US-Seite für nicht ausreichend.
#Wikileaks#Assange#PressFreedom#Media#Journalism#USA#UK: "To my mind, Julian Assange is in some ways recognizably a journalist. He’s also a publisher, an entrepreneur, an activist, a whistleblower, an information anarchist and a hacker. That’s true of many of this new breed of net warriors.
But in the work we did together when I was editor of The Guardian and he was editor of WikiLeaks we collaborated on a series of groundbreaking stories which were absolutely journalistic.
However, to many journalists Assange is not a proper “journalist,” and they can’t really see what his fate has to do with theirs. I think that’s a mistake.
This week Assange may learn his fate when judges in the UK High Court consider final representations from lawyers on both sides over the bid to extradite him to the US — where he could face a lengthy spell in a maximum security prison."

This all happened around the time of #Wikileaks email dump, after a hack of #HillaryClinton's adviser John Podesta's acct, & the Trump team used that material A LOT.

for years I've experienced disruption of my communications: emails disappeared, calls disappeared, etc. I was taken seriously only when pictures like these surfaced: my phone had been secretly unscrewed in the Ecuadorian embassy while I was meeting Julian #Assange. And now...
this afternoon a prominent British journalist, who has followed my #FOIA litigation on Julian #Assange and #WikiLeaks, reached me to tell me that my New Year message to him (which I sent him on Jan.3) just appeared on his phone: 4 months later.
