Assange Loses Bid: British judge upholds arrest warrant for Wikileaks founder
[]
A judge in Britain has upheld the arrest warrant for WikiLeaks founder, Julian Assange. The Australian has spent the last five years evading the order inside Ecuador's embassy in London. The judge said she wasn't persuaded by arguments that it was no longer in the public interest to arrest Assange for jumping bail in 2012, and in seeking shelter to avoid extradition to Sweden to answer rape charges, which have since been dropped.
