WIKILEAKS - Assange Can Guarantee, but Still imprisoned

LONDON - The founder WikiLeaks, Julian Assange, obtained a guarantee, on Tuesday (14/12/2010), in a trial in Westminster Magistrate's Court, London, but a lawyer representing the Swedish prosecutors immediately appealed.
That means Assange will remain in jail until a decision from the high court which must occur within 48 hours that determine whether an appeal from the Swedish prosecutor accepted or rejected, the lawyers said.
Australians are 39-year-old surrendered to police in London last week to respond to the European arrest warrant against him for alleged sex crimes in Sweden. Assange faced charges of rape, sexual harassment, and unauthorized use of violence in separate incidents last August in Stockholm. He could be sentenced to two years in prison if convicted. His lawyer denied the allegations and has vowed to fight any extradition attempt against his client.
The judge on Tuesday agreed to provide security after Vaughan Smith, a former British army officer who founded London's Frontline Club, testified that Assange to live in his mansion (mansion) in Suffolk. "Smith will keep Assange if not in house arrest status, (but) at least in the custody of the mansion," said state lawyers, Geoffrey Robertson, as quoted by CNN. At that time, Assange, who wore a white shirt and blue jacket and sitting in a glass room in the corner of the court with three security guards, smiling wryly.
The judge set a ransom of 200,000 pounds (about 315,000 U.S. dollars) plus two respective collateral valued at £ 20,000 (about 31,500 U.S. dollars). Assange passport must remain in police custody and he will be monitored with the marker location. Assange must be on Smith's mansion, about two hours drive outside London, at least for four hours at night and four hours in the afternoon. He will be asked to report to police every day between 18.00 to 20.00. The next trial is scheduled on January 11 next year.
Once this is established, Assange stood up and said, "I understand," with a neutral expression. His mother, Christine, told reporters after the hearing saying that he is very happy and thank the media for all the support on his son.
However, a few hours later, Sweden's appeal.
Outside court, about 100 people demonstrated in support of Assange. They held posters which inscribed, "Julian Assange is a political prisoner" and "Why did you shoot the messenger?" and "This is not the year 1984".
In the trial, the team Assange lawyers argued that because he only wanted for questioning and not officially a suspect, then he should be presumed innocent. The judge agreed with lawyers Assange.
However, said Gemma Lindfield, a lawyer representing the plaintiff in Sweden, "the Court has found that Mr. Assange risk to flee." He said that if the alleged crime had occurred in England, it certainly will be a charge of rape in this jurisdiction. "However, Robertson questioning it.
Supporters Assange from among celebrities on trial include Bianca Jagger, who sat next to Fatima Bhutto, niece of the late Pakistani politician Benazir Bhutto and the current President of Pakistan Asif Ali Zardari, as well as left-wing journalist character John Pilger. Socialite Jemima Khan came to court, but it is unclear whether she entered the court room was very crowded. Many people who go home because of crowded courtroom.
Judge Howard Riddle refused the first request Assange trial will assurance on December 7, then on the grounds that there is a risk he would fail to surrender himself. Yesterday, Riddle mentioned four reasons why he decided to hold Assange in prison in the previous week, namely the lack of permanent residence, confusion about when and how he last entered the UK, evidence of a crime in Sweden, and the dispute about whether Assange sought only for questioning or for prosecution.
Bids residence of the mansion from Riddle Smith has answered the question about the address, and the testimony of someone who arrived in England with Assange from Switzerland to answer questions about when and how he entered the British. He said he did not specify his position on the evidence of violations Assange Swedish owned, and that subsequent trials will determine whether Assange wanted for questioning or for a prosecution.
