Julian Assange, founder of WikiLeaks, has been placed on Interpol's wanted list due to an arrest warrant issued by Swedish authorities for alleged sexual crimes, including rape and coercion. This development follows the release of a significant cache of U.S. diplomatic cables by WikiLeaks, raising speculation about the motivations behind the charges. Assange's legal team claims he is not being charged with rape but rather with lesser offenses, such as "sex by surprise." The situation has sparked debates about the legitimacy of the charges and the timing, with some suggesting it may be an attempt to silence him amid his whistleblowing activities. As Assange seeks asylum, the implications of these allegations on his future and WikiLeaks remain uncertain.
