Julian Assange will make a new appeal to the High Court in the UK, his wife Stella said on Thursday, after it emerged that another judge has rejected his previous motion and cleared the way for handing the WikiLeaks founder over to the US.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOn Tuesday next week my husband Julian Assange will make a renewed application for appeal to the High Court,\u201d <\/em>Stella Assange tweeted<\/a>. \u201cThe matter will then proceed to a public hearing before two new judges at the High Court and we remain optimistic that we will prevail and that Julian will not be extradited to the United States where he faces charges that could result in him spending the rest of his life in a maximum security prison for publishing true information that revealed war crimes committed by the US government.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Assange\u2019s previous appeal of the June 2020 extradition order was rejected earlier this week. On June 6, Justice Jonathan Swift of the High Court of England and Wales rejected all eight grounds for his motion, giving the WikiLeaks publisher a five-day deadline to make his case to a two-judge panel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reporters Without Borders (RSF) condemned<\/a> the ruling on Thursday, calling it \u201cabsurd\u201d<\/em> that a single judge could \u201cpermanently impact the climate for journalism around the world.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe historical weight of what happens next cannot be overstated; it is time to put a stop to this relentless targeting of Assange and act instead to protect journalism and press freedom,\u201d <\/em>said RSF\u2019s Rebecca Vincent, calling on US President Joe Biden to drop the charges against Assange and \u201callow for his release without further delay.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
