WikiLeaks published has just release another set of cables this Wednesday, despite the major arrest its founder on sex allegations, who is jailed at the moment. A daring message was also posted online which said that the secret-spilling website will surely keep working, and as they say publicizing leaks, despite the arrest.
The recent hot topic in everyday news tells that undoubtedly WikiLeaks has been under a lot of pressure lately, on different levels: as its editor-in-chief Julian Assange has been imprisoned in Sweden, along with the news of both credit card companies, Visa and MasterCard, stopping any access of users to make donations to the website. Which has obviously impaired the website to raise any kind of money, and lastly not unnoticed were the few mysterious cyberattacks which apparently compromised the servers of the website periodically.
WikiLeaks has surprisingly gained a massive wave of online support as Twitter is overflowing with messages of appreciation from all over the world. While the site's Facebook page has bummed into more than 1 million fans page. Although still significant amount tech-savvy supporters have organized several boycotts and have attempted other efforts in the same regard as well.
Simultaneously, as the website seems fearless of anything in the world, their Assange has to hear a new special extradition hearing next week, which is the time according to his lawyers to file another attempt at filing a bail. The 39-year-old Australian is facing several severe charges ranging from rape and molestation up to unlawful coercion stemming from separate sexual encounters in August with two women in Sweden. However, the Assange has completely denied all of above allegations he is charged for.
