The WikiLeaks founder faces prosecution in the US over an alleged conspiracy to obtain and disclose national defence information
Mr Assange now faces a further wait to find out whether his final appeal can go ahead faces a further wait to find out whether his final UK bid to appeal over his extradition to the United States can go ahead at the High Court.
The judges said the US authorities had three weeks to give the necessary assurances, with a final decision to be made in late May. “The Biden administration should not issue assurances. They should drop this shameful case that should never have been brought.”In a January 2021 ruling, then-district judge Vanessa Baraitser said that Assange should not be sent to the US, citing a real and “oppressive” risk of suicide, while ruling against him on all other issues.
Assange’s legal team has argued that the US’s prosecution would be retribution for his political opinions, meaning it would be unlawful to extradite him under UK law.
