WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange was granted permission by the British High Court of Justice to appeal to the Supreme Court

In court to cover the proceedings, @MElMaazi reported that the High Court certified the issue of diplomatic assurances was important enough to allow Assange an appeal to the Supreme Court

Assange will remain in Belmarsh prison throughout the duration of this appeal to the UK Supreme Court.

Courts and Tribunal Service in the UK, which had done fairly well granting international journalists access to follow Assange proceedings, utterly failed.

Video links issued finally at about time High Court announced decision. Then video had issues when opened so most missed.

Is it a victory or not?

“What happened in court today is precisely what we wanted to happen,” declared @StellaMoris1. “High Court certified that we had raised point of law of general public importance, and that Supreme Court has good grounds to hear this appeal." #Assange

@StellaMoris1 "The situation now is that Supreme Court has to decide whether to hear the appeal. But make no mistake, we won today in court," @StellaMoris1 added.

Without certification, extradition request could've been sent to Home Secretary Priti Patel. That was prevented—for now. #Assange

@StellaMoris1 At 12pm ET, I'll join @RightsDissent policy director @ChipGibbons89 for a discussion on the UK High Court decision that opened the door for Julian Assange to appeal to the UK Supreme Court.
