WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange can appeal his extradition to the US from the UK, the High Court of England and Wales ruled Monday.
Assange, an Australian citizen, has spent the past five years in a London prison as Uncle Sam has sought to haul him over to America where he faces 17 espionage-related charges and one charge of computer misuse. If convicted, he faces up to 175 years behind bars.
The WikiLeaker-in-chief has fought tooth and nail to avoid trial in America following his decision to publish. Now High Court judges in the UK capital will allow Assange to appeal his extradition"on the grounds that Julian will be discriminated against and excluded from constitutional protections under the First Amendment," his wife Stella
"The judges obviously saw the problem here: The US is applying its secrecy laws … internationally and saying at the same time if you are not a US citizen if you are abroad you will not have access to constitutional protections," she said.Monday's ruling allows his appeal to move forward, and means Assange's legal team can argue his First Amendment rights to free speech under the US Constitution will be trampled if prosecuted and convicted.
