Africa-Press – Tanzania. <\/strong><\/span>A UK High Court ruling on Tuesday granted WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange the right to appeal his extradition to the US and set a new hearing date for the case in May before adjourning it.<\/p>\n

In a partial victory for Assange, the UK High Court has decided against his immediate extradition to the US, where he is wanted on espionage charges.<\/p>\n

The judges said Assange could file a new appeal unless US authorities provide additional assurances about his treatment.<\/p>\n

The trial has been adjourned until May 20.<\/p>\n

Assange ‘remains exposed to the death penalty’<\/b><\/p>\n

Stella, Assange’s wife, said she is “astounded” by the court’s decision to postpone hearing her husband’s appeal to May.<\/p>\n

According to her, the ruling means that Assange “remains exposed to the death penalty.”<\/p>\n

“Yet what the courts have done is to invite a political intervention from the US,” she added.<\/p>\n

“He is a journalist and he is being persecuted because he exposed the true cost of war in human lives,” she noted.<\/p>\n

This situation is, she said, “a signal to all of you that if you expose the interests that are driving war they will come after you.”<\/p>\n

She said the US administration should not provide assurances to the court and “should drop this shameful case”.<\/p>\n

“This is a shame on every democracy,” she said.<\/p>\n

What happened?<\/b><\/p>\n

Assange, who has been detained in a UK prison since 2019, faces extradition over allegations of leaking classified military documents in 2010-2011.<\/p>\n

The UK High Court, in a pivotal 2021 ruling, decreed that Assange should be extradited, dismissing assertions over his fragile mental state and the risks he might face in a US correctional facility.<\/p>\n

Following suit, the Supreme Court in 2022 upheld the decision, while then-Home Secretary Priti Patel affirmed the extradition order, intensifying the legal battle.<\/p>\n

In his latest bid for a reprieve, Assange is seeking authorization to scrutinize Patel’s determination and challenge the initial 2021 court verdict.<\/p>\n

Should this recourse falter, Assange would have exhausted all available avenues for appeal within the UK legal system, triggering the extradition process.<\/p>\n
