WikiLeaks Founder to Sue Australian Prime Minister

Julian Assange, currently under investigation after two women claimed they were sexually assaulted by him, has decided to pay back and drag another woman into court with claims that she defamed him.

Although Julian Assange believes that it’s too dangerous to face criminal charges in court, he at the same time reckons that it’s absolutely safe for him to launch a lawsuit against Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard for defamation.

Swedish Police Seized WikiLeaks’ Hosting Company Servers

PeRiQuito AB, better known as PRQ, hosts some of WikiLeaks’ servers and also offered its hosting services to the world’s largest BitTorrent tracker The Pirate Bay. A few days ago the Swedish police showed up to seize its servers.

This Monday, Stockholm police came to PRQ to seize 4 of its servers. At the same day, PRQ’s own official site and The Pirate Bay’s website went down. However, the company’s representatives denied that these events had anything to do with the raid. PRQ insisted that the power shortages were due to some technical problems.
