Assange Wins Right to Appeal Extradition to the US, In Victory for Political Liberty

It’s not over yet, but a British court has given Julian Assange a lifeline, so two cheers for political liberty. He’s been in prison WITHOUT CHARGE for five years now, for practicing free speech journalism by exposing US war crimes in the Iraq war. Biden won’t drop the espionage prosecution, but if this ordeal drags out until 2025, Trump might. It was widely speculated that the reason why Assange was not pardoned in 2021 is that Sen. Mitch McConnell threatened to not whip up votes in the Senate to protect Trump from conviction in his second impeachment trial. DemocracyNow! reports:
