Julian Assange waiting for decision to be freed on bail
Julian Assange's British lawyers are preparing for a high court battle with Swedish prosecutors to prevent the WikiLeaks founder being kept behind bars for at least two months.
The founder of Wikileaks, Julian Assange, will know by Thursday if he will be freed on bail.
Mr Assange remains in Wandsworth Prison after Swedish authorities appealed against a decision to grant him bail.
His lawyer Mark Stephens said about half the £240,000 bail money had been raised and the High Court appeal would be heard on Thursday at the latest.
Mr Assange is fighting extradition to Sweden where he denies sexually assaulting two women.
