United Nations back Wikileaks founder Julian Assange
An Expert Panel of the United Nations high Commission on Human Rights has comdemned as “arbitrary” the detention of Wikileaks founder Julian Assange. Assange, the Australian activist who created the whistleblowers’ portal, is wanted in Sweden on charges of sexual misconduct. And he has been living in the Ecuador embassy in London for the past three years for fear he will be arrested and extradited. Since Wikileaks has exposed alleged war crimes and embarrassing military and diplomatic information about the US, there is a fear that the Americans might also seek his extradition.
