Julian Assange granted permission to appeal against extradition to US

Julian Assange, the founder of WikiLeaks, has been granted permission to appeal his extradition from Britain to the United States. The High Court in London ruled that he can have a full appeal after two judges gave him leave to do so. This decision comes after 13 years of legal battles and is seen as a significant turning point in the case.

In a series of rulings, the High Court in London has denied the immediate extradition of Julian Assange to the United States on espionage charges. Assange's legal team has been granted a new appeal based on three grounds, as the court found he has a "real prospect of success" on these matters. The US government has been given three weeks to provide fresh assurances regarding these points.
