WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange won the right to challenge a British court's decision to extradite him to the U.S. to face espionage charges

Emphasis mine, since the headline is poorly worded. He didn't win an appeal, the court agreed that he can appeal. He still could be shipped off to the US and then eventually .

Misleading headline.

They're just fucking with him. Giving him some hope, then they'll take it away again ๐Ÿ˜”

I vote for changing the title to make it clearer that he won the right. Change to "Wikileaks founder wins [right to appeal] U.S. extradition"

Misleading title. He did not win the appeal.

He won the opportunity to have an appeal hearing.

It is last week's news anyhow.

He just needs to be innocent until proven guilty. (Fair trail)
