My understanding is that this isn't an appeal against a US court ruling (where that's part of the process), but a UK court appeal specifically against extradition. I'm guessing different countries have different rules/processes around that.
Right, I get it, but I don't know that the right to appeal is something universal, nor if countries treat extradition hearings the same way they treat criminal cases. I'm sure there are some countries where those rights don't exist at all (even on paper).
Of course it is not universal. Freedom and rule of law are not. However, we are talking about the U.S. and the U. K. here! Don't know why you're bringing up irrelevant situations. Are trying to add value or are you Sats farming with these answers? Not judging. Just asking.
I'm definitely not sat farming here (can't in a million years imagine the now-three comments I've made even breaking 40 sats, and that's hardly worth the time I've spent on them for sat-farming). I also don't ever think of adding value or V4V in comments, to be honest. I treat commenting here like I would anywhere -- if I feel like saying something, I say it (and I assume that's the intent of keeping commenting cheap).
As to the actual point, the thing is, I genuinely don't know how the UK handles these things, so while yes, obviously they're not as extreme as some other countries, I don't know what or how their appeals process for a case like this would work, and I try not to assume that just because there's a right to something in the US, that the same one exists even in similar nations.
But you see, I am not assuming American laws extend. How ever I do know our system, the Common Law system derives from the UK. I also, know that the two countries have many, many agreements in business and law. The most important thing to know is both counties require permission to sue the government in most cases. Thus, my question remains.
They want to kill him-solves every problem. Lincoln, Kennedy and they tried to do Snowden. Anyone that gets in the way-kill them-- straight up Game of Thrones!
Julian is our hero. What Julian did was right. Why, there is no question of his extradition. He is not a criminal. He was just reporting and doing his work.
here's also the Reuters

Food for thought
the US court do not uphold first amendment protections to U.S citizens, then too who? to the dead?

he committed a crime, yet they're getting dropped? So then it was lie?

How can one NOT have a right to appeal?!!!

You are correct. my question remains.

I appreciate your effort.
This is interesting, because the "unveiled" these charges after he was taken into custody after the embassy.
(SAT FARMING HERE WE GO!!!)
The US government will do anything to get their hands on him because he embarrassed them so much.
They want to kill him-solves every problem. Lincoln, Kennedy and they tried to do Snowden. Anyone that gets in the way-kill them-- straight up Game of Thrones!
His story is really weird.
They are just trying to get anything to stick to him.
why is it weird? he spoke truth..He's stating he wants his first amendment right to be upheld.. that's nothing complex here.
I mean all the crimes he has supposedly committed.
Maybe he didn't commit a crime? food for thought
Did Snowden commit a crime?
Julian is our hero. What Julian did was right. Why, there is no question of his extradition. He is not a criminal. He was just reporting and doing his work.
Julian represents the very best of us
