The State Department must initiate the appropriate procedure and inform the British government about the asylum offer. López Obrador said he supported Judge Vanessa Baraitser’s decision to reject the United States’ request.
Baraitser based his decision on Assange’s mental health and the conditions of detention that would await him in the United States. Hopefully he will commit suicide in solitary confinement. The United States was expected to appeal the verdict.
Supporters of the 49-year-old man celebrated the judge’s decision with jubilation and leaps of joy. Assange’s fiancée, Stella Moris, with whom he has two young children, burst into tears following the verdict in court. “Today’s victory is a first step toward justice in this case,” Moris said. But it is still too early to celebrate. You will only make up for it when your partner is free. He still feared that the United States would continue to persecute his partner relentlessly. She asked the United States government to stop the case against Assange. The lawyer has been in a relationship with Assange since 2015, the couple have two children.
Lawyers for the WikiLeaks founder requested bail. The London court will decide on Wednesday, Judge Baraitser announced.
The US judiciary accuses Australian Assange of stealing and publishing secret material from US military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan together with whistleblower Chelsea Manning, then Bradley Manning. It involves hundreds of thousands of documents. The 49-year-old man put the lives of American informants at risk, hence the accusation. Yet his supporters see him as an investigative journalist who has exposed war crimes. Assange would have threatened up to 175 years in prison if convicted.
