Judges grant WikiLeaks founder permission to appeal against removal from UK but only if UK and US are unable to provide suitable assurances
Julian Assange has been handed a reprieve in his fight against extradition to the US after two judges granted the WikiLeaks founder permission to appeal against his removal from the UK but only if the UK and US are unable to provide the court with suitable assurances.
If Assange had been denied permission to appeal he could have been extradited within days to face espionage charges in the US.
