The WikiLeaks founder is freed
WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange walked free from the high court in London Thursday and vowed to continue releasing classified documents, the sources report.
A British judge released Assange on bail, after rejecting an appeal of the release from prosecutors in Sweden, where he is wanted on rape allegations.
Assange said in a brief statement on the court steps that he will continue his work and protest his innocence in the case.
Judge Duncan Ouseley agreed to release Assange on conditions which include a bail of $315,000, plus two sureties equaling about $62,500. He also must wear an electronic monitoring tag, check in with police daily and stay at the home of former British army officer and WikiLeaks supporter, Vaughan Smith, the sources state.
