Swedish Court Says It Still Wants Julian Assange
A Swedish court upheld on Wednesday an arrest warrant for WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange who has spent two years at Ecuador's London embassy to avoid extradition to Sweden over allegations of sexual assault.
Swedish prosecutors want to question Assange over the allegations made by two female former WikiLeaks volunteers.
Assange denies the allegations and has been fighting a legal battle against extradition since his arrest in Britain in Dec. 2010.

Ug, this is still going on?
Did they present any serious proof/concrete charges of what he alegedly did, or is it all vague threats and such?
I can't remember, though it still looks like Assange is going to be spending more time under effective house arrest. Bet he wished he had some escape plan to Russia.
