**Summary**

* Assange is granted the right to appeal **only** on the grounds that he may be denied freedom of expression rights, and that he might face discrimination in the U.S. judicial system as a foreign national. He has been refused the ability to appeal on the basis that the U.S. might seek the death penalty, as Assange's defense agreed that U.S. assurances on the matter were sufficient. * The High Court ruled that the prosecution of Assange for exposing war crimes did not violate Assange's right to free expression under Article 10 of the European Convention on Human Rights, and that these publications were not significant items of public interest (which would prohibit his prosecution). * The High Court ruled that Assange's defense **must not** submit additional evidence about the CIA plot to assassinate him, on the highly questionable grounds that the CIA would "have no reason" to execute the plot if Assange were successfully extradited. * Remote access to future hearings has been prohibited for journalists not based in England and Wales, as they could not be prosecuted by the Crown for screenshotting the proceedings. It is believed this is due to concerns that the public might see the visible effects of Assange's rapidly deteriorating health if he were to attend future sessions, spurring outrage.
