LONDON: Prosecutors said on Tuesday they would appeal against a British judge’s decision to grant bail to WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, who has been arrested in Britain on Swedish allegations of sex crimes. Prosecution lawyer Gemma Lindfield announced the decision at a court hearing, without giving reasons.
Judge Howard Riddle, who had earlier granted Assange bail under stringent conditions, said Assange must remain in custody until the appeal was heard within 48 hours.
