And yet he’s still locked up, which is a win for the state that wants to grind his bones as a warning to whistleblowers and journalists around the world.

What other whistleblower made 100 million from whistleblowing? This guy isn't a noble hero, he's an information terrorist that used secrets for personal financial and political gain

Doesn't matter what his motives are lol. Leaking classified information of imperial core terrorist states is always a good thing, and locking him up is thus a win for the capitalist state like davel says.

It doesn't matter?? Brainwashed much. If I have all the secrets for the u.s and all the secrets from Iran but only releases one sides secrets while sitting on the others, that doesn't matter?? Jesus you're a slave to propaganda

Read Craig Murray on this:

Craig Murray: Something Changed in the Assange Case

Mentioning “what is at stake here” was the first real acknowledgement of the major issues in this case from the judiciary in over a decade of proceedings. It did feel like something had changed.

Also, the Hill headline is slightly wrong. He can appeal the extradition. Not he can petition to appeal. Full appeal hearing coming up, not sure if the date's been decided on yet. He won the right to appeal on the grounds that he has a case that he will be discriminated for his nationality and denied first amendment protections as a non-US citizen. This comes after the US failed to provide satisfactory assurances that this won't happen.
