[ExI] Wikileaks

>Julian Assange has had his passport red-noticed by Interpol so he cannot
travel outside of the U.K. where they suspect he's hiding, and his lawyers
claimed recently they are being surveilled by U.S. intelligence services.
The reason for the red-notice is a warrant for two sexual assault charges
against Assange that conveniently appeared in Sweden just as this round of
documents were leaked.<

Correction. I was just watching the evening news and it turns out he has not
been charged nor has a warrant been issued for his arrest. He's been red
noticed based on the allegations alone.
