WikiLeaks Founder Faces International Warrant

Julian Assange, founder of WikiLeaks, has landed a spot on Interpol’s most wanted list for an alleged sex crime in Sweden.  

Stolkholm Criminal Court has filed an international arrest warrant for the 39-year-old Australian on allegations of illegal use of force, rape and sexual molestation, all stemming from August of this year.

Mark Stephens, Assange’s lawyer, has called the charges “persecution and not a prosecution.”

Assange has been in hot water since posting previously classified State Department transmissions on his website last Sunday.
