Assange supporters call for US to drop ‘criminalisation of journalism’ as High Court delays extradition decision
Stella Assange, wife of Wikileaks founder Julian Assange, releases a statement outside the Royal Courts of Justice, in London, March 26, 2024
THE case against Julian Assange “criminalises journalism” and must be dropped immediately, his supporters demanded today.
The Wikileaks founder was left in limbo after the High Court in London hit pause on its decision on whether it will grant him permission to appeal his extradition to the United States.
The court ruled that the US must provide “satisfactory assurances” or Mr Assange could take his case to an appeal hearing.
