London: WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange was on Tuesday arrested by the British police after Sweden issued a warrant for his arrest over allegations of sex crimes.
Assange, whose WikiLeaks website has created a row over the release of secret US diplomatic cables, was arrested under a European Arrest Warrant. However, he has denied allegations that he had sexually assaulted two women in Sweden.
He is accused by the Swedish authorities of one count of unlawful coercion, two counts of sexual molestation and one count of rape, all alleged to have been committed in August 2010.
