<p>WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange will fight to remain in Britain next month, it has been confirmed. </p>
<p>In a 10-minute hearing at Belmarsh Magistrates&#8217; Court, Assange&#8217;s legal team said it was ready to start a full two-day extradition hearing on February 7. Hannah Pye, for the Swedish authorities, said she had no objection to the date.</p>
<p>District Judge Nicholas Evans released Assange, who spoke only to confirm his name, age and address, on conditional bail. The judge agreed to vary Assange&#8217;s bail conditions to allow him to stay in Paddington on February 6 and 7.</p>
<p>Assange is wanted by the Swedish authorities over claims he sexually assaulted two women last year.</p>
<p>The computer programmer was released on £240,000 bail by a High Court judge last month after spending nine days in Wandsworth Prison.</p>
<p>He denies committing any offences and his supporters claim the criminal inquiry and extradition request is unfair and politically motivated.</p>
<p>The controversial figure was behind the release of hundreds of United States diplomatic cables, as well as information about the Iraq war, that sparked global uproar.</p>
<p>Earlier, supporters of Assange including human rights campaigner Bianca Jagger, socialite Jemima Khan and Gavin MacFadyen, director of the Centre for Investigative Journalism, arrived at court.</p>
<p>Speaking outside court after Tuesday&#8217;s hearing, Assange said he was &#8220;happy about today&#8217;s outcome&#8221; and vowed that WikiLeaks&#8217;s activities would continue.</p>
