not because the high court that has granted julian dishonest, the right to appeal his extradition to the us, where he faces life in prison. if he's convicted on espionage charges, there was a blow and now has a renew chance to fight for his freedom. earlier my colleague nicky arian was discussing these latest developments and what was being an incredibly lensky saga for songs with all t correspondent marina consider. of course the ruling a means that assigns will not be expedited within 24 hours, but essentially which is good. but essentially doesn't change anything because it means that he can continue appealing, which he has been doing for years, and he's being persecuted from all the way back in 2010. when all of this started after his website, which leak, so released the information up, it was basically expose the us military's actions abroad in particular and the rock and of down to sound, which we'll get to. and the 2nd and all of a sudden, after that rate charges, random rate charges appeared in sweet and where he was at the moment at that moment . and after that that prompted

the high court's decision is a rare piece of positive news for julian hassan. and all defenders of press freedom . the high court has rightly concluded that if extradited to the usa assigns will be at risk of serious abuse, including prolonged solitary confinement which would violate the prohibition on torture or other ill treatment. in trying to imprison julie and assigned to the us as sending the unambiguous message that they have no respect for freedom of expression. and that they wish to send a warning to journalists and publishers everywhere that they too could be targeted for receiving and publishing classified material. even if doing so is in the public interest. do linda sanchez, always argue that it's very important to inform the world of what the united states are doing in the senseless loss of life around the world. so something needs to be done, something needs to happen for that to stop. and also a lot of people are having an issue with the fact that washington is using the espionage acts and charging them with espionage. because uh before this was
