Assange Case Won't Deter WikiLeaks

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange appeared in a British court today where it was decided that he would remain custody until his next court date on December 14. He was arrested after submitting to authorities and says he will resist extradition to Sweden where he “faces questioning in connection with alleged sex offenses,” reports the New York Times. The story also says that this promises to be a long legal process.

Wikileaks tweeted the message above earlier today.

“Officers from the Metropolitan Police extradition unit have this morning arrested Julian Assange on behalf of the Swedish authorities on suspicion of rape,” reads a police statement.

Facebook has also released a statement saying that it wouldn’t ban content from a WikiLeaks “fan page,” ReadWriteWeb reports.
