Interview: Jeremy Corbyn reacts after Julian Assange’s victory in court

By Raul Rizzato, May 20 2024.

Press-freedom activists have erupted in celebration outside the Royal Courts of Justice in central London on Monday after Julian Assange won the right to appeal extradition to the US.

I interviewed former Labour Leader, MP Jeremy Corbyn, outside the court immediately after the verdict, and he spoke to me about his reaction to the decision.

I also recorded Stella Assange's press conference held outside the court after the verdict. She spoke about her husband's long fight against extradition.

Emotions were running high, with many of Assange's supporters breaking down in tears amid passionate chants for Assange to be freed and brought home.
