Julian Assange will appear before a British court early next year in a US extradition hearing. He will not be extradited to the United States until that time.

Julian Assange is set to appear before a British court early next year in a hearing on whether the WikiLeaks founder should be extradited to the U.S., a judge in London ruled on Friday.

The charges Assange faces include conspiring to hack government computer networks.

He will have the hearing in February, which could last for several days.

Via video link to a courtroom on Friday, Assange defended himself against allegations that he illegally revealed classified government and military information by saying, "WikiLeaks is nothing but a publisher," according to the BBC.
