If I understand correctly, this hearing can be appealed to some higher UK court.

If that's the case, all of these terrible sound bites and decisions might be good for for Assange in an appeal.

Who knows what kind of 3d chess is going on behind the scenes. If they extradite without appeal, that would be problematic.

Yes. As I have explained elsewhere, Mr Assange may appeal to the High Court, the Supreme Court, and then potentially the European Court of Human Rights.

Can you still appeal to the EU Court of Human Rights in Britain at this point? And if so, for how much longer?

It’s European court, not EU. So far only Belarus is not a member state.

ah ok was confused.

IIRC this is a criminal case, so the appeal does not go to the High Court. The first appellant court is Court of Appeal (Criminal Division).

This is not a criminal case, so the appeal would not go to the criminal division.

It's an extradition hearing. It goes to the High Court.
