Julian Assange cannot be extradited to the US, UK judge rules
WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange cannot be extradited to the US, a judge at the Old Bailey has said.
Judge Vanessa Baraitser said she had refused his extradition because it 'would be oppressive' to him.
The Australian activist, 49, faced an 18-count indictment alleging a plot to hack computers and a conspiracy to obtain and disclose national defence information.
Julian is now detained illegally. Free him immediately
Sonia Sutcliffe:
He's already been imprisoned longer than some murderers!
Maloneys Digest:
He was jailed for revealing state sponsored crimes.
x3nine:
He exposed US lies and war crimes.
Aussie girl:
Took them long enough Julian should be heavily compensated and given a medal.
Malachite Dream:
Good result but trying to convince ourselves that we live in a country of free speech is delusional. He’s been a prisoner for 10 years, enough is enough!
Lee Johnson:
A great victory for journalism. The msm will be disappointed. But I won't be happy until he's free.
mclanaford:
Please protect Julian when he is freed The DeepnState is after him. He knows the truth

Assange should be pardoned and end this farce. It makes them look worse than anything he released.
Black Cat:
Its taking a toll on his health.
Dan Marquez:
That is good news! As a American taxpayer, I demand that the US government quit with the expensive appeal and instead clean up internal corruption.
A Hardone.:
The States didn't extradite Mrs Sacoolas who we know is guilty

The US 'justice' system is brutal and sadistic and vengeful. No wonder he didn't want to go.

The Tree Keeper:
Good, I'm glad the British judge has good judgement of what is going on. I'm also so disappointed about the Australian government not helping their very own citizen more. I can understand that there's a lot of American influence in Australian politics but to act like America's lapdog. We need to be wary of the propaganda role America foreign policy plays.
child of God:
Need to be bailed today. No charge to answer for.. Man as been through enough..
Malcolm Hardwick:
Make him a free man !
N9 BJJ:
Bad day for Sky News - good day for everyone else !

Hopefully he gets to have a normal life soon , a person shouldn't have to live like he does just because he helped show governments are 100% corrupt
alan coppin:
Excellent news , people who expose the truth have always been persecuted something that Sky News and the BBC will never be guilty of

The u.s. government need to clean there corruption in politics before accusing innocent journalist of speaking the truth.
