We celebrate this good day but it's not over until Assange is released from Belmarsh prison and goes home a free man.
Keep raising your voice in support of Julian.

Citing harsh federal prison conditions in the United States, a British district court judge rejected the United States government’s extradition request against WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange.
Judge Vanessa Baraitser found Assange suffers from a “recurrent depressive disorder.” Although he functions at a high level, he suffers from autism as well.
She accepted that he would likely be imprisoned at a supermax prison in the U.S. under special administrative measures (SAMs) and would find a way to commit suicide.
“I am satisfied that, in these harsh conditions, Mr. Assange’s mental health would deteriorate causing him to commit suicide with the ‘single minded determination’ of his autism spectrum disorder,” Baraitser declared.
“I find that the mental condition of Mr. Assange is such that it would be oppressive to extradite him to the United States of America.”
US prosecutors are expected to appeal the decision.
