Julian Assange's lawyer says UK court has 'validated concerns' about the case

Julian Assange’s lawyer Jennifer Robinson speaks about a UK court’s decision to delay Assange’s appeal on his extradition. “I spent yesterday afternoon in prison with him after the judgement came down, going over the decision, and of course it’s disappointing,” Mr Robinson told Sky News host Sharri Markson. “We are in a position where the court has in fact validated the concerns we’ve long had about this case, about the risk to free speech, if he's extradited, about the risk he’d be exposed to the death penalty, about the discrimination he’ll face as an Australian citizen in receiving constitutional protections. “And yet the court yesterday decided, even though these are problems we’re going to offer the US the opportunity to remedy these fundamental fatal flaws in their case by mere political promises. “And this is unacceptable, this is an award winning Australian citizen and journalist who is facing life in prison in the United States.”
