  • High Court judges ruled in Assange's favor due to concerns about inadequate US free speech assurances if extradited from Britain, his lawyers argued.
  • Assange, facing 17 espionage charges and one computer misuse charge, was indicted over publishing classified US documents almost 15 years ago.
