Julian Assange: Obama administration is 'a regime that doesn’t believe in the freedom of the press'; Ecuador offers asylum to Assange
Nov. 30, 2010 (Haaretz) -- U.S. federal authorities have begun to investigate whether WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange could be charged under the Espionage Act for releasing secret diplomatic documents, media sources reported on Tuesday.
The Australian citizen, whose online whistleblower organization created a world-wide storm with its vast revelations, has been hiding in London to evade questioning over allegations that he assaulted two women in Sweden.
Ecuador has offered Assange asylum, "with no problems and no conditions," the South American country's Deputy Foreign Minister Kintto Lucas told the Internet site Ecuadorinmediato.
