Will Assange be released soon?

A British court has blocked the extradition of Wikileaks founder Julian Assange to the USA for espionage allegations for the time being. For now - is the key word. He should not be extradited immediately, the London High Court ruled last week. As the judges explained, the appeal was rejected in six out of nine points. The remaining three points depend on whether the US government and the British Secretary of the Interior can provide important guarantees. The judges set a deadline of three weeks for this. Could Julian Assange perhaps still be released in May? Dieter Herrmann, editor-in-chief of WEEK IN AUSTRALIA, is skeptical?
