Julian Assange

Julian Assange: He's still there and now says he won't emerge even if Sweden drops the case that triggered the strange diplomatic standoff, according to Times Colonist. "If I walk out the front door I could be arrested in relation to the United States," Assange said in an interview with a small group of journalists to mark Wednesday's one-year anniversary of his embassy stay and LONDON - A year ago, Julian Assange skipped out on a date with Swedish justice. Rather than comply with a British order that he go to the Scandinavian country for questioning about sex crimes allegations, the WikiLeaks founder took refuge in Ecuador's embassy in London. In comments that appear to put a resolution farther off than ever, Assange said his fear of U.S.-ordered arrest for his secret-spilling activities means that "if the Swedish government immediately drops their request tomorrow, I still cannot leave this embassy."
