THE decision to refuse the extradition of Julian Assange by magistrate Vanessa Baraitser is a triumph for British justice: within the tradition of elites getting themselves out of sticky situations.
Julian Assange was saved from extradition yesterday (barring the outcome of an appeal), but only on the back of rejecting 95 per cent of the case for his defence.
Judge Baraitser’s verdict leaves the British government free to extradite anyone else that the US cares to finger for reporting war crimes, human rights abuses, corporate corruption and CIA surveillance.
