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.
He's already been imprisoned longer than some murderers!

Fart Juice:
Good news for one day.
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.
Giselle X:
Rooting for Assange from the US...cheers!
Indefatigable Incredulity:
I noticed the overall tone of this report was almost sadness, i wonder if the tone will change when the yanks win their appeal!??

al rent:
The u.s. government need to clean there corruption in politics before accusing innocent journalist of speaking the truth.
Susan Matherne:
To know Julian is free, it’s a beautiful day.
chris chris:
My criminally corrupt govt. would like to persecute him to the full extent of their new unconstitutional laws!
Masked Mono:
We all saw the media crew gunned down and the medical team also gunned down. These news outlets should be ashamed of not backing him. He brought us the truth.
Alexander Simpson:
It’s travesty given the publication of these documents, including video footage was to expose criminal acts being covered up by abusing classifications that hides these criminal acts from the public for a period of time that ensured the perpetrators get away with their actions... When one considers Julian took time and effort to ensure the published documents did not endanger lives.. The truth is, it made for a lot of red faces and awkward questions being asked including politicians being exposed for lying to the public...
Leslie Rodricks:
Delegitimise US govt.'s appeal! It must be rejected lock, stock and barrel!
James Balmforth:
Excellent news, but I fear they still have tricks up their sleeves.
jack:
Let him free he done nothing
timothy finn:
the appeal was lodged in one minute,they knew the decision before it was, announced? collusion.
edward meaburn:
At long last sanity seems to have won, thank goodness for a judge with the common sense and courage to go against the corrupt and spineless politicians who have allowed this man to suffer for so long. We are ruled by groups of greedy men and woman in positions of power who have no moral compass to guide them to be honest and truthful, they are a total disgrace to us all.
