'The fight is not over': Pamela Anderson welcomes British refusal to extradite her friend Julian Assange to the US after judge said he would be a suicide risk in American jail

Pamela Anderson has said the fight is not over after a British judge ruled WikiLeaks Founder Julian Assange cannot be extradited to the US to face spying charges.  The former Baywatch star, 53, has been a long-term vocal supporter of Assange during his legal battles with the US government over the publication of thousands of classified documents in 2010 and 2011. The judge blocked the request because of concerns over Mr Assange's mental health and risk of suicide if he were to be extradited to the US.  After the latest development, the ex-Playboy Model shared a picture of a sunrise at the beach on social media and wrote: 'A special sunrise for my dear friend #JulianAssange - (not to be extradited) stay tuned, the fight is not over - but, a hopeful moment to breathe in - I can only imagine Julian (in court, still in that mask), taking that breath.. #humanrights #freespeech #pardonassange.' This is just the latest show of support for Assange by Pamela Anderson.  Earlier this

The US has said it will appeal the decision.  In a statement to ABC a spokesperson for the DOJ said: 'While we are extremely disappointed in the court's ultimate decision, we are gratified that the United States prevailed on every point of law raised.  'In particular, the court rejected all of Mr. Assange's arguments regarding political motivation, political offense, fair trial, and freedom of speech.'  Assange's friend Pamela Anderson said Monday the ‘fight is not over’, telling her followers to 'stay tuned'. The sensational ruling at the Old Bailey in London raises the prospect that the 48-year-old WikiLeaks founder co
