Wikileaks founder Julian Assange has been given a temporary reprieve from extradition to the US where he faces charges that could lead to 175 years in jail over Wikileaks’ publication of leaked documents that revealed alleged US war crimes. Two judges said today that the court would delay proceedings against Assange to ask the US for assurances that the Wikileaks founder would not be subject to the death penalty and would be granted rights under the US constitution. The 52 year old is charged with 17 counts under the US Espionage Act 1917 and one count under the US Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, over WikiLeaks’ 2010 publication of documents leaked by US Army whistleblower Chelsea Manning. The case, which represents the first time the US Espionage Act has been actively used to prosecute someone for publishing leaked government documents, has led to warnings from major news publishing groups and campaign groups that it would have a chilling effect on the work of journalists.
