Arrest warrant still out for Julian Assange

A SWEDISH court has upheld the arrest warrant for Australian WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange.

Assange, 44, is wanted by Swedish authorities for questioning over allegations that he committed rape in 2010.

He denies the allegations.

“The district court finds that there is still probable cause for the suspicion against JA [Julian Assange] for rape, less serious incident, and that there is still a risk that he will depart or in some other way evade prosecution or penalty,” the court said in a statement.

Assange avoided possible extradition to Sweden by taking refuge in Ecuador’s embassy in London.
