The BBC News and RT reports that:

A Swedish court has upheld an arrest warrant for WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, who found shelter in Ecuador's embassy in London two years ago.

The Stockholm District Court moved to uphold the warrant on Wednesday following a legal challenge from Assange's lawyers in June. The challenge was spurred by a change to Swedish criminal proceedings regarding the right to information in criminal procedures which brings the country in line with an EU directive.

    Well then you should be protesting loudly at every opportunity that THIS IS AN INSULT to women who have been raped to use the crime of rape as a red herring to give a guy a rendition ride to gitMo and it makes Swedes look like america's bitch. If they want to be looked at as the cousins of the cheese eating surrender monkeys? Go right ahead but I would say every woman should be fucking insulted and royally pissed that they would use rape as a cheap excuse to give the USSA a handjob by grabbing Assange.
