    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>.

    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”

    Misleading title. He did not win the appeal.

    He won the opportunity to have an appeal hearing.

    It is last week’s news anyhow.

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

    Assange used his sword (pen) on US MIC. He is not evading the Avengers version of “justice”. He is drugged, tortured and eventually, slowly, he will be killed by NATO terrorists. This is what western civilised democracy delivers onto you.
