After nine days in jail, WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange was freed on bail Thursday in London after an appeal by British authorities failed.
Assange was granted bail on Tuesday but was remanded in custody pending the outcome of the appeal.
Assange can remain free while he fights extradition to Sweden where he is wanted for questioning on sex crime allegations.
Bail for Assange was set at about $315,000. He will have to surrender his passport and wear an electronic tracking device. He will also have to remain at a Suffolk mansion and check in with a local police station nightly.
Assange’s attorney, Mark Stephens, told reporters before the hearing that money for Assange’s bail was ready.
“We believe that we will have the money today. It appears to be in the banking system,” Stephens said. “We certainly have pledges from the people who stood behind him on previous occasions.”
Assange’s next hearing, on the extradition issue, will be January 11.
