Amnesty International and the National Union of Journalists have urged the US government to abandon its efforts to extradite Wikileaks founder Julian Assange. The British High Court has ruled that Assange will be entitled to appeal against his extradition to the US unless the Biden administration provides an assurance by mid-April that he will not face the death penalty if he stands trial and is convicted on espionage charges. The court has also sought an assurance from the US government that Assange will be able to rely upon the first amendment if his case goes to trial in the US.
