Julian Assange bailed but not released yet

Julian Assange has been granted bail against the cash guarantee of £240,000 by the court in London. But he is not released yet due to a pending appeal against the bail decision, which lodged by the Swedish prosecutors.

Mark Stephens, Assange's lawyer says the case has now turned to a "Show Trial". Mr Stephens says the court will hear the appeal against the bail decision in next 48 hours.

Mr Stephens says:"They [Sweden] clearly will not spare any expense but to keep Mr Assange in jail."
