November News for ICON Magazine - Julian Assange

Wikileaks creator Julian Assange has had an international warrant for his arrest issued by Swedish government, on two alleged rape and sexual molestation offences. 

He was recently denied a visa in Switzerland where he applied for political asylum in order to move the Wikileaks servers, allowing him to “operate in safety.”

Assange was detained in Stockholm for questioning, however the Swedish government will most likely extrodite him to the US where he will probably be excicuted. 

His Swedish lawyer, Hurtig said the evidence against Assange was “very meagre. It’s not enough to get convicted of a crime.”

Assange claims that he is innocent and haters of Wikileaks are setting him up.
