Richard Medhurst reports on the decision of the High Court to grant Assange a limited appeal against extradition. Medhurst has reported from the Royal Courts of Justice in London on the Julian Assange case, after attending the High Court hearings in person. Assange is seeking permission to appeal the 2021 ruling of the lower court: a decision that only blocked his extradition to the United States on health grounds (later overturned by US appeal), while agreeing with political and espionage charges against the WikiLeaks founder that criminalize journalism. Richard Medhurst has reported on Julian Assange's extradition case since 2020.
