"Reader beware." Indymedia UK has ince 'hidden' the spurious article about Assange's arrest, citing a breach of editorial guidelines. Assange has been hailed as a champion of free speech and transparency by progressives around the world, and by congressman Ron Paul. Wikileaks has nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize. |
