    WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange won the right to challenge a British court’s decision to extradite him to the U.S. to face espionage charges

    Emphasis mine, since the headline is poorly worded. He didn’t win an appeal, the court agreed that he can appeal. He still could be shipped off to the US and then eventually <blacksite prison name not found>.

    Misleading headline.

    They’re just fucking with him. Giving him some hope, then they’ll take it away again 😔

    I vote for changing the title to make it clearer that he won the right. Change to “Wikileaks founder wins [right to appeal] U.S. extradition”

      He just needs to be innocent until proven guilty. (Fair trail)
