Assange also vowed to continue releasing secret US documents through his website.
In his first day after being granted bail in Britain, Wikileaks founder Julian Assange said on Friday the attempts to extradite him to Sweden were part of a "smear campaign", vowing to continue releasing secret US documents through his website.
The 39-year-old Australian also said he would continue to protest his innocence in the face of allegations that he sexually assaulted two women in Stockholm.
Following his release Thursday after nine days in a London prison since his arrest on a Swedish warrant on December 7, Assange told the BBC the allegations against him were "a very successful smear campaign and a very wrong one".
He also told reporters that he expected the United States, which has condemned the WikiLeaks cable releases, to bring spy charges against him.
Assange was freed after the High Court in London rejected an attempt by British lawyers acting for Sweden to keep him in jail while he fights the extradition attempt, a process that could take months.
As part of his bail conditions, he must live at friend's Georgian mansion near the rural town of Bungay in Suffolk, eastern England. He has also been electronically tagged, is subject to a curfew and must report to police daily.
Assange's release was the result of a nine-day battle by his lawyers. After denying him bail on December 7, a judge granted it on Tuesday but kept the Australian in custody while prosecuting lawyers appealed at the High Court.
WikiLeaks has caused embarrassment and anger in Washington by releasing hundreds of classified US diplomatic cables, and his supporters have linked his detention to the massive leak.
