Stella Assange Celebrates Julian Assange's Release
High Court's Decision Ends Years of Legal Battle
Assange to Walk Free After Extradition Ruling
London, England - Julian Assange, the founder of WikiLeaks, has been released from prison after the High Court ruled that his extradition to the United States would be barred on human rights grounds. The decision is a major victory for Assange's supporters, who have campaigned for his release for years.
In a statement released after the ruling, Assange's wife, Stella, said that her husband "will be able to walk in freedom." She added that the ruling was a "vindication of Julian's fight for justice." Assange has been held in Belmarsh Prison in London since 2019, when he was arrested on a warrant from the United States. The US government has accused him of conspiracy to hack into government computers and violating the Espionage Act. Assange has denied the charges, and his supporters have argued that his prosecution is politically motivated.
The High Court's ruling is a significant setback for the US government, which has been trying to extradite Assange for years. The US Justice Department has said that it will appeal the ruling to the Supreme Court.
