It did state that the appeal was apparently being allowed on the basis the U.S. was contending that Assange was not "So mentally gone, it would be impossible for him to do anything else than commit suicide", which would apparently be the reasonable legal standard for denial. Which sounds patently absurd. This also is only allowed because of quote "misleading" behavior by a medical professional concerned with not violating confidentiality of minor patients. Which sounds to me like a big fat helping of "no one would bat their eye at this type of concession to patient privacy by a medical practitioner, but the U.S. is calling in a favor." Honestly, I wish the U.K. would just tell the U.S. to sod off. We all know this is contrived BS
