.ON MAY 20TH the High Judge in London ruled that Julian Assange should be actually granted a hearing on a brand new appeal versus his extradition to United States. Mr Assange, the founder of WikiLeaks and an Australian national, has been defending more than thirteen years to continue to be in Britain.
