Wikileaks founder, Julian Assange, was arrested in London for allegedly sexually assaulting two women in Sweden while he visited the country back in August. Assange was presented to the judge, who refused bail because of the risk of escape, at City Of Westminster Magistrates Court.

Assange refused extradition and proclaimed he will fight extradition to Sweden and continue publishing on Wikileaks since he considers this case an attack on media freedom. Assange’s lawyer, Mark Stephens, claims the charges were “politically motivated” and there is not enough evidence against the 39 year-old Australian citizen.

Wikileaks spokesman, Kristinn Hrafnsson, said in a statement Assange’s arrest would not stop the release of secret compromising files. He said, “Wikileaks is operational. We are continuing on the same track as laid out before. Any development with regards to Julian Assange will not change the plans we have with regards to the releases today and in the coming days.”

Assange will remain in custody until December 14, 2010, which gives the US plenty of time to figure out a way to extradite him to the US on the ongoing investigation into Wikileaks after classified information was published on the website.

Gerard Batten, a UKIP MEP, said the Assange case highlighted the dangers of the European arrest warrant. He said: “I don’t know of the quality of the evidence in Mr Assange’s case but it does seem that he is involved in political turmoil and intrigue and there are a lot of people keen to shut him up and there is nothing a court in the UK can do to look at the evidence before they extradite him.”

The Wikileaks honcho was charged with one count of unprotected sex with a woman identified as Miss A, who insisted he used a condom, and another count of unprotected sex/rape with another woman while she was asleep.

Is this some type of sick global conspiracy against the Wikileaks founder? Or did Julian Assange really had unprotected sex and raped those women?
