Speaking outside the High Court in London, Stella Assange, Julian's wife, says she is "astounded" by the decision, speaking after the judgment. She said: "What the courts have done has been to invite a political intervention from the United States... send a letter saying it's all OK. I find this astounding." Report by Covellm.
