Since I don't understand this, I will ask it here and maybe someone can give me a clear answer.

What exactly does this mean for Julian Assange? I mean, in terms of this repetitive circle of going to court and then coming back empty handed.

How often can Assange's defense team appeal these decisions and at what point can we expect the "final" decision to be made? E.g. Julian is either released or he is extradited.



This was the US government's appeal because the US lost at first instance. However Assange will now also have his own cross-appeal because even though he won at first instance, the court rejected all but one of his arguments.

Aside from that, it will go to the Court of Appeal and/or to the UK Supreme Court.

So potentially 2 or 3 further appeals.


Possibly still the Euro Court of Human Rights as well.
