WikiLeaks Assange's Extradition Appeal Rejected By British High Court

The British High Court ruled that Julian Assange, founder of WikiLeaks has to be extradited to Sweden to face the rape claims (two sexual assault cases). Eleven months ago Assange was arrested in London. Since the WikiLeaks started its publishing, it has been unmistakably the target of media and all major governments. Assange is claiming these sexual assaults charges to be a politically motivated one and he says that the sex was consensual.

The alleged misconduct was revealed as WikiLeaks was being condemned by the U.S authorities for posting thousands of classified diplomatic and military communications.

WikiLeaks is really facing the grunge music as its operations have been financially disabled. Visa Europe Ltd., Master Card Inc., American Express Co. and eBay Inc's PayPal have halted payments to the site.
