Interpol Issues Arrest Warrant for WikiLeaks Founder Julian Assange - Polidicks

[quote] [img]http://a57.foxnews.com/static/managed/img/U.S./397/224/112710_assangebig.jpg[/img] Interpol has issued an arrest warrant for WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange on sex charges. The Australian is suspected of rape, sexual molestation and unlawful coercion in an investigation that stems from his encounters with two women during a visit to Sweden in August. Assange has denied the allegations and insisted his sexual relations with the women were consensual. A veteran computer hacker, Assange founded WikiLeaks in 2006. It has published almost 500,000 secret U.S. documents about the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.

I still think all of this is made up as an excuse to make him more of an outlaw.

sex charges = releasing the documents

"The Interpol notice is not an international arrest warrant but the public is asked to contact police with any information about Mr Assange's whereabouts." [url]http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-11880965[/url] It's a bit misleading to call it an international arrest warrant.

Bunch of goddamn bullshit. As a Swedish citizen I can say not many swedes, that I know of at least, believe in the charges or condone with what the attourney general is doing.

What's the difference? Another person will just take the reins.

He'll release the password to the insuarance file if he ever gets arrested.

[url]http://www.interpol.int/public/Notices/default.asp[/url] Tons of people are on the blue list. It pretty much just makes it a hassle to pass through countries because you set off a red flag whenever you pass customs.

[QUOTE=BANNED USER;26417174]He'll release the password to the insuarance file if he ever gets arrested.[/QUOTE] Supposedly. I forget what the exact conditions are, but I think it's that, if Wikileaks becomes corrupted or if Assange's killed.

I bet it wasn't all of Interpol, and just Daniel Kessler who issued the arrest warrant. That guy is an asshole.

This seems to be a bit confusing. Perhaps interpol do not actually have the power to put out arrest warrants.

Well at least he can be safe knowing Ecuador will hold him no questions asked. I doubt anything will come from this, just more scandal surrounding him as an attempt to discredit him. Obviously I don't believe in the charges.

[QUOTE=Elizer;26417207]Supposedly. I forget what the exact conditions are, but I think it's that, if Wikileaks becomes corrupted or if Assange's killed.[/QUOTE] So the insurance file and the ones released the other day aren't the same thing?

[QUOTE=Mudbone;26417307]So the insurance file and the ones released the other day aren't the same thing?[/QUOTE] Nope. Completely different.

[QUOTE=DarkSpider;26417284][url]http://edition.cnn.com/2010/WORLD/europe/11/30/sweden.interpol.assange/[/url] [url]http://www.islandcrisis.net/2010/12/interpol-issues-red-notice-for-arrest-of-wikileaks-julian-assange/[/url] He was just bumped to red.[/QUOTE] This seems to explain it a bit better, it seems as long as he stays in a country that "likes" him he is ok. Last I heard he was in the UK.

I'll bet he has some sort of detector in his heart that if it stops beating, it sends a message to a satellite which sends a message to WikiLeaks server to post the password on the front page.

Just put this arrest warrant on top of the others over there in the "Don't give a fuck" corner.

I'd feel violated too if someone released cables detailing my backdoor diplomatic dealings. Why, Julian, why did you go into their back door, that's their special place :saddowns:

[QUOTE=Mudbone;26417307]So the insurance file and the ones released the other day aren't the same thing?[/QUOTE] As far as I understand the insurance file is pretty much everything they haven't released in uncensored format.

Julian, you can come over to my house, you'll be safe here [editline]30th November 2010[/editline] Plenty of Skittles, flan, lemon mousse and Red Bull :q:

sex charges = USA goverment ass-rape

He's probably in more danger there than if he was abroad.

we need a political poster with Assange bringing a message of truth. Spread it around.

[QUOTE=Explosions;26417719]Safe? He's probably in more danger there than if he was abroad.[/QUOTE] Eh, you're probably right.

This is absolute bullshit. The girls who claim to be "raped" by Assange have been shown to have been obviously lying, and their testimonies never made any sense. I bet the girls were just females who had sex with Assange at some point and were hired by the U.S. Government. What idiot in Interpol decided to put him on an international wanted list for having sexual encounters with two females?

I mean, what undisputable evidence have they got? Unless I'm mistaken (somebody correct me where I'm wrong) I haven't seen [U]any[/U] mention of that... All they're saying is "Hurr durr Assange raped these 2 poor innocent girls, send him to prison!!"
