Wikileaks Founder Julian Assange Arrested!

The founder of the whistle-blowing website Wikileaks, Julian Assange, has been arrested by the Metropolitan Police in London, England. Mr Assange, the 39 year old Australian, denies all of the allegations, claiming the charges are part of an effort to silence and discredit the whistle-blower organization. He is due to appear at City of Westminster Magistrates' Court later. Mr Assange is accused by the Swedish authorities of one count of unlawful coercion, two counts of sexual molestation and one count of rape, all alleged to have been committed in August 2010. The arrest took place before a Wikileaks planned release of documents on Bank of America. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-11937110 added by: H3ADLINE
