UK District Judge Vanessa Baraitser has ruled that Julian Assange cannot be extradited to the US to face espionage charges on the grounds of his mental health and the regime under which he would be jailed there (The Age, 6/1). This is a relief and it reasserts some measure of faith in the British justice system.
