Live: Press conference as Assange extradition ruling delayed

A press conference is held in London after WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has been given a chance to continue his fight against extradition. The United States must give assurances that Mr Assange will not face the death penalty before judges will consider dismissing his bid to bring an extradition appeal, the High Court ruled on Tuesday 26 March. He faces prosecution in the US over an alleged conspiracy to obtain and disclose national defence information following the publication of hundreds of thousands of leaked documents relating to the Afghanistan and Iraq wars.
