Assange seeks bail in UK court |
Updated at: 1054 PST, Tuesday, December 14, 2010 The 39-year-old Australian handed himself in to British police last week after Sweden issued a European arrest warrant. Assange was accused this year of sexual misconduct by two female Swedish WikiLeaks volunteers during a stay in Sweden. A Swedish prosecutor wants to question him about the accusations. Assange, who denies the allegations, was remanded in custody at an initial British court hearing last week. Assange and his lawyers have voiced fears that U.S. prosecutors may be preparing to indict him for espionage after the WikiLeaks website published details of some of a trove of 250,000 secret U.S. documents it has obtained. "I came to Sweden as a refugee publisher involved with an extraordinary publishing fight with the Pentagon, where people were being detained and there is an attempt to prosecute me for espionage," Assange said in a documentary broadcast on Swedish public television on Sunday. The U.S. Justice Department has been looking into a range of criminal charges, including violations of the 1917 Espionage Act, that could be filed in the WikiLeaks case. A poll of 2,000 Britons found 44 percent believed that the sex allegations against Assange were an excuse to get him into custody so the United States could prosecute him for releasing the secret papers. The same proportion believed Britain should send Assange to Sweden to face questioning. Forty-one percent thought Assange should not be prosecuted for releasing the cables. Thirty percent thought he should be. |
