Swedish Court Orders Detention of Wikileaks Founder Assange

Posted by CmdrTaco on Thursday November 18, 2010 @01:47AM from the this-will-never-end dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Wikileaks founder Julian Assange is likely to be detained for questioning over his alleged connection to a rape case. The Director of Prosecution, Marianne Ny, has requested the District Court of Stockholm to detain Assange, claiming that they have not been able to meet with him to accomplish the interrogations. 'I request the district court of Stockholm to detain Mr Assange in his absence, suspected of rape, sexual molestation and unlawful coercion,' Ny said in a statement."

If NFL stars can kill dogs and rape women and still have amazing fanbases, why can't some dude in a foreign country release information to the public about their governments and rape and molest some women and still have people standing up for him?
They should have planted kiddie porn on his computer instead. That would have silenced him in the eyes of the US public for sure.
