Swedish Court to Let Julian Assange Appeal Arrest Warrant 
----------------------------------------------------------


 
Sweden's top court has granted Wiki Leaks founder Julian Assange the
right to appeal an arrest warrant which has kept him holed up in the
Ecuadorean Embassy in London for nearly three years. Assange sought
refuge in the embassy over fears the warrant on sex crime allegations
could lead to his extradition to Sweden and then to the United States.
Last month, after years of refusal, Swedish prosecutors said they would
travel to London to interview Assange. He has not been charged with a
crime.
