British judges have accepted assurances about Assange’s treatment in prison, once he was extradited to the United States, made by US authorities to avoid a frightening suicide.

A grave judicial error. Thus, Julian Assange’s partner and legal team member, Stella Morris, outlined the London High Court ruling in a post on Twitter by WikiLeaks. Morris announced that he would appeal to British judicial authorities “as soon as possible”. The 50-year-old Australian founder of WikiLeaks, whom Washington has been chasing relentlessly for more than 10 years for publishing classified documents, faces 175 years in prison in the United States.
