WikiLeaks: Julian Assange to hand himself in to police after arrest warrant issued


Telegraph UK

Julian Assange, the founder of WikiLeaks, will hand himself in to police - possibly as early as Tuesday - after a fresh European Arrest Warrant was issued by the Swedish authorities.

Mr Assange is expected to voluntarily attend a police station within the next 24 hours, and will then appear in a magistrates’ court. He is wanted over allegations of sexual assault in Sweden.

He is currently in hiding in the south-east of England but police are understood to have the necessary paperwork to arrest him.

Mark Stephens, Mr Assange’s British lawyer, said: “We are in discussions about him going to the police by consent.”

WikiLeaks: Whistleblowing or Treason?

WikiLeaks founder and spokesman Julian Assange has come under fire and an international arrest warrant on rape charges in Sweden. Sweden is claiming that the charges against Assange — an Australian national — are “not political.” But the website RawStory.com reported December 2 that the “rape” charge amounts to nothing more than the charge that Assange had engaged in consensual sex with two women without a condom and was subsequently unavailable for a required test for sexually transmitted diseases. Assange's former lawyer told Raw Story that “apparently having consensual sex in Sweden without a condom is punishable by a term of imprisonment of a minimum of two years for rape.”

Doesn't mean he will be guilty.

Authorities will probably be able to obtain the encryption codes once they get him custody if they don't have them already, but who knows where things go from here.

The dog and pony show by the "authorities" continues. Let's concentrate on the revelations and not the messenger, eh?

Even if Assange ends up in jail for life, nothing changes with Wikileaks. He's got this all calculated out, believe me, there was a strategy to deal with his capture or demise a long time ago. But this rape charge is insane! No condom=rape? WTF?

Insurance file key coming soon?

The founder of WikiLeaks has warned that his supporters are primed to publish a 'deluge' of leaked government documents should his activities be curtailed by any country.
Julian Assange has distributed to fellow hackers an encrypted 'poison pill' of damaging secrets, thought to include details on BP and Guantanamo Bay.
He believes the file is his 'insurance' in case he is killed, arrested or the whistleblowing website is removed permanently from the internet.
