Swedish Court Orders Arrest of WikiLeaks Founder

HeadlineNov 19, 2010

And a Swedish court has issued an arrest warrant for WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange on charges of rape and sexual molestation. A Swedish prosecutor sought Assange’s arrest this week after initially dropping the case against Assange earlier this year. The order comes less than a month after WikiLeaks released a trove of classified U.S. military documents disclosing new evidence of torture and civilian deaths in the Iraq war. Assange has denied the allegations and said he is the target of a smear campaign.
