"Julian Assange Granted Temporary Reprieve from US Extradition"
TL;DR
The High Court in London has temporarily halted the extradition of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange to the United States, ruling that the U.S. must provide assurances that he will not face the death penalty. The U.S. is seeking to put Assange on trial for releasing confidential military records and diplomatic cables. Assange's legal team successfully argued that he could face a capital offense in the U.S., and if assurances are not provided by April 16, he will be granted permission to appeal.
