Assange Expects U.S. Spying Charges
The Daily Telegraph reports:
The 39-year-old Wikileaks founder was let out of prison on Thursday after a judge ruled he should be released ahead of Swedish extradition proceedings in the new year.
'We have heard from one of my US lawyers, yet to be confirmed, but a serious matter, that there may be a US indictment for espionage for me, coming from a secret US grand jury investigation,' he said.
He vowed to 'continue his work and protest his innocence' after emerging from the High Court to face the world press after nine days behind bars.
But in a series of interviews, Assange suggested that his first 24 hours of freedom would be largely taken up with other legal battles.
Speaking at the East Anglian mansion at which he has been ordered to stay, the Australian indicated that the US is preparing to indict him on espionage charges.
