The WikiLeaks founder is wanted by the U.S. on federal espionage charges and faces life in prison if convicted
Julian Assange, the WikiLeaks founder wanted by U.S. authorities for spying, might not have to go to America after all, CNN reports.
Two senior judges on the UK’s High Court to granted Assange permission to appeal his extradition on the grounds that as a foreign national from Australia, his right to free speech on U.S. soil was not guaranteed. American prosecutors had tried unsuccessfully to assure the court that Assange would enjoy full rights and not be discriminated against.
While Assange’s lawyer Edward Fitzgerald argued that such assurances were inadequate, he accepted a separate guarantee from U.
