I read with interest an article in The Hindu of August 23, 2010 by John F.Burns and Eric Schmitt. Naturally, after seeing the TED Global Video Interview of Julian Assange (embedded in this blog some days back) and reading much about him, any news about Assange is of interest to me.
According to this New York Times Newservice report Julian Assange of WikiLeaks was sought by the Swedish authorities on allegations of rape and molestation and later, the rape allegation was dropped.
The whole thing sounds fishy. One wonders whether people are after Julian Assange or some sort of conspiracy is brewing to intimidate Assange and close down WikiLeaks. Assange has tweeted that the whole thing is baseless.

I feel this is not the end. More may be coming up. Let us hope that he does not get caught in any conspiracy. I wish him all the best and may God protect him!
Grateful thanks to The Hindu, John F.Burns, Eric Schmitt and New York Times News Service.
