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

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.
