United States authorities began investigating WikiLeaks founder
Julian Assange soon after WikiLeaks had
published the Chelsea Manning leaks
in 2010. Shortly afterwards, on 20 August 2010,
Assange was arrested in
Stockholm (Sweden) on sexual assault allegations, but was released on 1 September 2010. After Assange had left Sweden on 27 September 2010, Sweden
issued an international warrant for his arrest. At the time, it was widely
speculated that the sexual assault allegations had been orchestrated by the
US in order to get Assange.
On 8 December 2010, Assange – meanwhile
in the UK – gave himself up to the British Police, where he was released on
bail on 16 December 2010. Afraid of being extradited to the US,
Assange sought refuge at the Ecuadorian
Embassy in London (UK), where he stayed for the next 7 years.
Although Sweden had meanwhile dropped the sexual assault charges,
Assange still feared extradiction to the
US. He was finally arrested in London on 11 April 2019 for breaking the
conditions of his bail, and is currently challenging extradition to the US.
