Swedish Prosecutor Seeks Arrest of WikiLeaks Founder

HeadlineNov 18, 2010

Sweden’s top prosecutor has ordered the arrest of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange on charges of rape and sexual molestation. The move follows an investigation that was reopened in September after initially being dropped. It also 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. A Stockholm court is set to hold a hearing on whether to grant the request for his arrest.
