WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has been arrested in Britain on an international warrant to face sexual crime allegations in Sweden. Assange is appearing in court today after surrendering to British police and he is expected to be extradited to Sweden. The case reportedly centers on accusations from two women who say Assange did not use a condom during consensual sex. Assange and WikiLeaks have denounced the case as a political witch-hunt that has intensified with the group’s release of secret U.S. diplomatic cables. On Monday, a Swiss bank said it had closed Assange’s account after he allegedly supplied false information. WikiLeaks’ PayPal account was also shut down this week, and its website has been thrown offline by cyber-attacks and U.S. government pressure.
