| [CTVNEWS.CA] A Swedish court on Wednesday upheld its detention order on Julian Assange, reaffirming the legal basis for an international warrant for the WikiLeaks founder which has kept him hiding in the Ecuadorean Embassy in London for two years. Assange's defence team said it would appeal. Defence lawyer Per Samuelson said they would study the judge's decision in detail and then "write a juicy, toxic appeal" to a higher court. |
