British Judge Permits Julian Assange to Post Bail

Julian Assange is expected to be released later today or early tomorrow, after a judge at a High Court in Britain has ruled against an appeal to keep him in prison as he fights extradition to Sweden on sex crime charges. As jubilant Assange supporters cheered outside the courthouse, a spokesman for the WikiLeaks founder said that he still maintained the charges were politically motivated, and designed to distract from the release of WikiLeaks. The BBC’s Maddy Savage reports live from outside the courthouse.
