Assange can take extradition appeal to UK's top court

Julian Assange has won the first stage of his bid to appeal against the decision to extradite him to the United States to Britain's Supreme Court.

In December last year, US authorities won their High Court challenge to overturn an earlier ruling that Assange should not be extradited due to a real and "oppressive" risk of suicide. For a proposed appeal to be considered by the UK's highest court, a case has to raise a point of law of "general public importance".

Two senior judges ruled this morning that there was a point of law, but denied him permission for the appeal.
