Julian Assange Wins Right to Appeal Against US Extradition

Wikileaks founder Julian Assange has been granted the right to appeal against his extradition to the United States, where he faces espionage charges.

A Long-Drawn Legal Battle

The Australian editor and activist has been fighting extradition for over a decade, and this latest ruling is a significant victory for him. Assange's legal team has been arguing that he could not receive a fair trial in the US, citing concerns over his email and contact with his legal team.

A Look Back at Assange's Rise to Prominence

Julan Assange founded Wikileaks in 2006, with the goal of committing "acts of journalism." He came to international attention in 2010, when Wikileaks published a series of leaks from US Army intelligence analyst Chelsea Manning.

Assange's supporters have been vocal in their support for him, protesting outside the Royal Courts of Justice in London. The Colbert Report has also featured Assange in an interview, where he discussed his vision for Wikileaks.

As Assange continues to fight against his extradition, the world watches with bated breath. Will he be able to appeal his extradition and avoid trial in the US? Only time will tell.
