Julian Assange Granted Bail
The New York
Times reported that Julian Assange, founder, spokesperson, and editor-in-chief
of Wikileaks, has been granted bail by a British court.
The ruling comes as Assange
and his attorneys continue to fight demands from Swedish prosecutors that he be
extradited to Sweden. Assange remains in detention pending an appeal by the
prosecution which is set to take place within the next 48 hours.
