"UK Court Delays Assange Extradition to US Pending Further Assurances"

The High Court in London has ruled that Julian Assange cannot be immediately extradited to the United States, stating that American authorities must provide assurances about his treatment, including his First Amendment rights and protection from the death penalty. The court has given the U.S. three weeks to provide these assurances, and if they are not given, Mr. Assange will be granted a right to a full appeal hearing. His legal team has also vowed to appeal to the European Court of Human Rights, which could further delay his removal.
