British court rules Julian Assange extradition on pause until US guarantees no death penalty: report

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

39% : The judges dismissed his claim, saying that while he "acted out of political conviction... it does not follow, however, that the request for his extradition is made on account of his political views.
36% : Assange faces 17 counts under the Espionage Act for allegedly receiving, possessing and communicating classified information to the public, as well as one charge alleging conspiracy to commit computer intrusion.
35% : No publisher had been charged under the Espionage Act until Assange, and many press freedom groups have said his prosecution sets a dangerous precedent intended to criminalize journalism.
21% : President Obama also commuted Manning's 35-year sentence for violations of the Espionage Act and other offenses to seven years in January 2017, and Manning, who had been imprisoned since 2010, was released later that year.
9% : But the Justice Department under President Trump later moved to indict Assange under the Espionage Act, and the Biden administration has continued to pursue his prosecution.
