England’s High Court has delayed the extradition of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange to the United States, giving the Joe Biden regime three weeks to provide assurances that the Australian will not face the death penalty before deciding whether or not he can lodge an appeal.
Dame Victoria Sharp and Mr Justice Johnson also demanded assurances from U.S authorities that Assange will be extended the same First Amendment protections as a U.S. citizen — despite the United Kingdom lacking similar free speech protections.
The courts will allow Assange to file a new appeal if the Biden regime fails to provide these assurances, with a hearing set for May 20 to determine whether the assurances provided, if any, are satisfactory.
Assange has been in a form of detention since 2010, when he took refuge in London’s Ecuadorean Embassy to avoid extradition to Sweden to face dubious sexual assault charges.
The British authorities continued to stake out the embassy even after these charges were dropped, seeking to arrest him for the minor offense of skipping bail. Following a change of government in Ecuador, Assange was ejected from the embassy, and he has been fighting extradition to the U.S. ever since.
