Arrest warrant relating to Swedish rape charge for WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange who published leaked US files on Iraq and Afghan war

 Sweden is to issue an international arrest warrant for the Australian founder of WikiLeaks, Julian Assange, 39, after a court there ordered his detention for questioning in relation to charges of2 "rape, sexual molestation and unlawful coercion."4 

 Sweden's Director of Prosecution, Marianne Ny, said prosecutors "have not been able to meet with him to accomplish the interrogations".2

 Assange is currently 'hiding' in Britain.4

 The charges against him stems from "an incident of consensual sex where the condom broke".1  

 At that time, Assange was in Sweden lecturing on the leaking of confidential U.S. military files on the war in Afghanistan.3

 Investigation against him was initially dropped in August by the prosecutor, Eva Finne, but later resumed by Ny in September.2

 WikiLeaks has so far published 400,000 classified US documents on the Iraq war and 77,000 on the Afghan war.1

[Are there any similarities between Eva Finne, who initially dropped the investigation against Assange, and the judges suspected of bias in the failed first trial of Geert Wilders? 

Judicial and official bias against those criticizing Islam, and bias for Islam and its supporters is something to watch out for.]
