You need to know this. Julian Assange was arrested today in London. The wikileaks founder turned himself in to London authorities this morning in relation to a sex crimes investigation in Sweden. Assange is accused of having consensual – but unprotected sex in that country – which is illegal. His accuser is a woman who works for an anti-Castro group funded by the CIA. Unclear what happens next – Assange is likely to challenge extradition to Sweden which means he will stay in custody in the UK or be released on bail pending another hearing. Yesterday – his legal defense fund – 31,000 pounds - was frozen by a Swedish bank – affecting his chances to receive a fair trail should it come to that. A spokesperson for wikileaks – claimed Assange’s arrest will not impair the site – and the release of more sensitive documents will continue. Also – the site has no intention yet of dispatching the “doomsday” files that Assange warned would be released in case he was arrested or killed. However – should the United States – which has also launched an investigation against the whistleblower for unknown crimes – succeed in having Assange extradited here – the release of those files is highly likely.
