Sweden’s Supreme Court won’t consider WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange’s appeal of his arrest on rape charges.
“The Supreme court has reviewed the material and hasn’t found any reasons for granting leave to appeal,” the Stockholm-based court said on Thursday in an e-mailed statement. The court only considers cases that may set a precedent or where there are “special circumstances,” such as new evidence, according to its website.
Interpol put Julian Assange on its wanted list after a Stockholm district court issued a warrant for his arrest on November 18 at the request of prosecutor Marianne Ny.
