'Finally a Glimmer of Hope': UK Court Rules Assange Can Appeal Extradition

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange may appeal an extradition order to the U.S., the U.K. High Court ruled on Monday. The 52-year-old Assange faces 17 charges of espionage and one charge of computer misuse due to WikiLeaks' publication of classified U.S. documents nearly 15 years ago. He has spent the last five years fighting extradition in London's high-security Belmarsh Prison.

As The Guardian reported: Edward Fitzgerald KC, representing Assange, said problems surrounding the assurances by the U.S. were 'multifold' and they did not rule out the possibility of a U.S. court ruling that the WikiLeaks founder, as a foreigner, was not entitled to First Amendment rights. The assurance was not that Assange could 'rely' on First Amendment rights but 'merely that he can seek to raise' them, Fitzgerald said.
