WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange cannot be extradited to U.S., judge rules

Quote

KEY POINTS

The U.S. is expected to appeal the decision within the allocated two-week time frame.

The WikiLeaks founder, whose health has deteriorated while being held in a U.K. prison, is wanted on 18 charges, 17 of which fall under the U.S. Espionage Act.

Assange is wanted in the U.S. over the publication of hundreds of thousands of classified military documents and diplomatic cables in 2010 and 2011.

Would probably fare worse under Biden than under Trump. Biden/Obama record on human rights is appalling.

Bitcoin made it impossible to kill Wikileaks so the rest of the circus only keeps him in the news. The world would long have moved on. Incredibly one of the chief culprits - ex Marine Chelsea Manning - had her 30 year jail term pardoned by Obama. What on earth would they want from a journalist?
