At a press conference in London, Stella Assange says "it's a very good sign today" after her husband Julian Assange won a bid to appeal against a ruling that approved his extradition to the United States. Assange is wanted by Washington for publishing hundreds of thousands of secret US documents from 2010 as head of the whistle-blowing website WikiLeaks. "The US administration should take this as a moment to drop the case and to just put an end to it, to distance itself from this terrible prosecution", adds Stella Assange. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
