#Assange leave for appeal *partially* granted.

Extradition decision *will* be appealed, but only on a few, selected grounds (# 4, 5) ie. discrimination he would face by not being a US citizen, and therefore not benefiting from the protection offered by the first amendment.

"The lawyers have until 2 pm on 24th May to file an agreed case outline.".

Beyond the boring and torturous UK judicial process, this decision acknowledges #FreeAssange case IS about freedom of speech.

🇬🇧The British High Court today allowed Wikileaks founder Julian #Assange's appeal against his extradition to the US. This decision gives hope that European human rights and courts will protect the exposure of injustice, abuses of power, corruption and war crimes without applying double standards to friend and foe. I hope that instead of deterring whistleblowers and journalists worldwide, as intended by the USA, they will be encouraged by the US changing its mind, or a landmark judgement at the end of proceedings.

The fact that EU Commission President von der Leyen remains silent on the case is shameful, but indicative of the mother of #chatcontrol plans, who wants to keep her own official text messages with pharmaceutical companies secret. For me as a Pirate, #transparency of government action is the indispensable basis of any democracy.

Transparency must not be a crime!
