#HighCourt decision on #Assange extradition set to be announced
Protest: you can tell the strength of public feeling in support of Julian Assange from this image – taken at Julian Assange’s last High Court appearance in December.
A High Court judge is to announce whether Julian Assange will be permitted to appeal against a decision to extradite him to the United States.
The decision will be handed down at 10.45am.
According to Wikileaks, the judgment will go one of two ways.
It may certify that points of law raised by Assange to prevent the extradition are of general public importance and give him permission to lodge an appeal with the Supreme Court.
Or it could deny him a certificate, meaning the extradition order will pass to Home Secretary Priti Patel, who will have the power to personally authorise – or deny – the extradition.
Details of the case and the issues it raises are available here.
