[quote] [b]Sweden has cancelled an arrest warrant for Wikileaks founder Julian Assange on accusations of rape and molestation.[/b] - The Swedish Prosecution Authority website said the chief prosecutor had come to the decision that Mr Assange was not suspected of rape but did not give any further explanation. The warrant was issued late on Friday. Wikileaks, which has been criticised for leaking Afghan war documents, had quoted Mr Assange as saying the charges were "without basis". That message, which appeared on Twitter and was attributed directly to Mr Assange, said the appearance of the allegations "at this moment is deeply disturbing". ... In its "official blog" on Saturday before the warrant was cancelled, Wikileaks said it was "deeply concerned about the seriousness of these allegations. We the people behind Wikileaks think highly of Julian and and he has our full support". The current whereabouts of Mr Assange, a 39-year-old Australian, are unclear.

"I don't think there is reason to suspect that he has committed rape," the chief prosecutor, Eva Finne, said. Assange has denied both accusations, first reported by the Swedish tabloid Expressen, which were described as dirty tricks on the Wikileaks' Twitter account. ... Assange, an Australian citizen, was in Sweden last week to apply for a publishing certificate to make sure the website, which has servers in Sweden, can take full advantage of Swedish laws protecting whistleblowers. He also gave a talk about his work and defended the decision by Wikileaks to publish the Afghan war logs.

What, he was being accused of rape? This is the first I've heard of it. [b]Edit:[/b] Just saw the other thread. This all just seems like a big mess.
The fact that his whereabouts are unclear are suspicious. :| Who knows though, maybe it just hasn't been long enough.

Oh fuck do I sense another monty pythonesque thing comin along here? :pervert:
I called it in the other thread exactly. [QUOTE=Zeddy;24232497]They've said this is their plan exactly. To get him imprisoned or discredited, and to either expose and prosecute the Wikileaks informants or to have the site's reputation ruined. Its not like this shit hasn't been done before. Its easy shit that could be done if you find someone willing to accept a few thousands dollars in exchange for a bullshit testimony. Been done before.[/QUOTE] [editline]11:58AM[/editline] [QUOTE=Ghostz;24239276]The fact that his whereabouts are unclear are suspicious. :| Who knows though, maybe it just hasn't been long enough.[/QUOTE] I think its more logical, since the U.S. Government wants him imprisoned or dead.
Assange raped me with KNOWLEDGE
wait, do they get the warrant for the raped guy or the rapist? because i may either be off the hook or in deep, deep shit.
[QUOTE=Ghostz;24239276]The fact that his whereabouts are unclear are suspicious.[/QUOTE] It's to make US Government's attempts to manhandle the shit out of him harder.

This all just seems like a big mess.[/QUOTE] Same here, I'm trying to get up to speed Can somebody make a thread which includes a timeline with all the recent events?? It'd be a lot easier to read and understand... I'd really appreciate it!
[QUOTE=imadaman;24241625]It's to make US Government's attempts to manhandle the shit out of him harder.[/QUOTE] I'm wondering what the US is going to do to him when we get him. I'm just waiting for the news thread saying that INTERPOL arrested him on Espionage charges and shipped him to America. Then we waterboard the shit out of him
