"WikiLeaks: grand jury hearing opens in US
The FBI has ordered a resident of Cambridge, Massachusetts to testify at a grand jury investigation into WikiLeaks and its founder Julian Assange, who faces the possibility of being charged with espionage in the United States.

The jury, which will decide if an indictment is brought, met in secret in Alexandria, Virginia. The subpoena, which was leaked to the news website Salon.com, indicated that the Department of Justice is seriously examining possible violations of the draconian 1917 Espionage Act.
Prosecutors are keen to show that Mr Assange and his organisation encouraged and abetted the leaking of a vast trove of American military and diplomatic documents, which has stunned and infuriated Washington.
Bradley Manning, a US army intelligence analyst, is suspected of leaking the information and is currently in military custody. Earlier reports said that two students from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology had aided Mr Manning, though it is not clear if either was the man ordered to testify on Wednesday.
Journalists are not allowed to attend grand jury hearings, which often last more than a year and usually result in a prosecution. However, a non-government party has never been prosecuted under the Espionage Act.
Mr Assange is currently in Britain fighting an extradition order to Sweden for a sexual assault case. His lawyers have argued that Sweden would be merely a stop on the way to extradition in the US.
The Barack Obama administration is in the midst of an unprecedented crackdown against leakers of official material, with five federal prosecutions currently under way."

FBI serves Grand Jury subpoena likely relating to WikiLeaks
Reuters
Julian Assange
Notably, the Subopena explicitly indicates that the Grand Jury is investigating possible violations of the Espionage Act (18 U.S.C. 793), a draconian 1917 law under which no non-government-employee has ever been convicted for disclosing classified information. The most strident anti-WikiLeaks politicians -- such as Dianne Feinstein and Newt Gingrich -- have called for the prosecution of the whistle-blowing group under this law, and it appears that the Obama DOJ is at least strongly considering that possibility.
The investigation appears also to focus on Manning, as the Subpoena indicates the Grand Jury is investigating parties for "knowingly accessing a computer without authorization" -- something that seems to refer to Manning -- though it also cites the conspiracy statute, 18 U.S.C. 371, as well as the conspiracy provision of the Espionage Act (subsection (g)), suggesting that they are investigating those who may have helped Manning obtain access. The New York Times previously reported that the DOJ hoped to build a criminal case against WikiLeaks and Assange by proving they conspired with Manning ahead of time (rather than merely passively received his leaked documents). Also cited is 18 U.S.C. 641, which makes it a crime to "embezzle, steal, purloin, or knowingly convert . . any record, voucher, money, or thing of value of the United States."
The serving of this Subpoena strongly suggests that the DOJ criminal investigation into WikiLeaks and Assange continues in a serious way; perhaps it was accelerated as a result of this latest leak, though that's just speculation. It also appears clear that the DOJ is strongly considering an indictment under the Espionage Act -- an act that would be radical indeed for non-government-employees doing nothing other than what American newspapers do on a daily basis (and have repeatedly done in partnership with WikiLeaks).

WikiLeaks: Julian Assange sex assault court case branded a 'show trial'
The Swedish authorities are turning the sexual assault case against Julian Assange, the WikiLeaks founder, into a "show trial", his lawyers claimed.
Mark Stephens attacked the decision by the Swedish authorities to appeal against a judge's ruling to grant the 39 year-old Australian bail.
He said their decision was now a "'persecution" rather than a prosecution and was politically motivated.
He accused the authorities of stopping at nothing to have the Wikileaks founder behind bars, a claim they denied.
"Finally after two hours we have heard the Swedes want to appeal against the bail conditions and put Mr Assange through yet more trouble, more expense and more hurdles," he told reporters outside City of Westminister Magistrates Court.
"It is really turning into a show trial and we will be in court again within the next 48 hours as soon as we have all the information."

"It is an unfortunate state of affairs given that we were obviously very relieved for Mr Assange a few hours ago now that the Swedes have taken this position. But given their persecution of Mr Assange perhaps it is not surprising."
Earlier Mr Stephens praised the celebrities who have backed Mr Assange since his arrest, some of who offered to stump up the £200,000 surety to secure his release.
"We have a number of people who were prepared to stand the surety of £20,000 each," he said.
"Jemima Khan, Bianca Jagger, John Pilger and Ken Loach, among others, are pillars of the community who have risked their reputation to stand by him [Mr Assange]."
Mr Stephens added Assange was 'worried' about his colleagues at Wikileaks but said he understood they had to carry on their work while he was incarcerated.
Mr Assange's legal team will now take the case to the High Court to secure his release on bail while he continues to await extradition to Sweden.
Mr Stephens said his client “believed in British justice”.
“But there is a problem because he has been granted bail on condition that £200,000 is paid into the court,” he said.
“That is an awful lot of money.”
Mr Stephens said it would take an "inordinate" length of time to get the bail money together.
"Until then we have an innocent man in Dickensian, Victorian conditions in Wandsworth jail," he said.
"It is impossible to say how long it will take before Julian Assange is out. The problem is £200,000 cannot be put in by cheque as that takes seven days to clear.
"So I have to go around to find cash and have it delivered to court, and until the court has it an innocent man stays in jail."
Mr Stephens branded the bail conditions "Orwellian" and said he would ask to relax them at a later date.
He warned the extradition process could take "many years" and highlighted the ongoing ordeal of Gary McKinnon, the British computer expert wanted in the US for hacking into military computer systems.
The lawyer said his client could not speak to other prisoners at Wandsworth Prison and was locked up for 23 hours a day.
He added that mail was not getting through and a copy of Time magazine featuring Assange was "ripped up by the censors" and he was only given an empty envelope.
Mr Stephens said author Hanif Kureishi and filmmaker Michael Moore were among the people who offered to give surety on behalf of the WikiLeaks founder.
"These are pillars of the community prepared to stand their reputation behind Julian Assange," he said."

"WikiLeaks: Government 'spying' on Julian Assange during house arrest
Supporters of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange are claiming that the Government has erected CCTV cameras to spy on the house where he is staying in East Anglia.
12:00PM BST 16 Jun 2011
In a video, titled “House Arrest”, and released by WikiLeaks, they claim that three cameras have been erected to watch who enters and leaves his temporary home.
The video, published today on Telegraph.co.uk, marks his six months on bail. It shows one of the cameras outside the entrance to Ellingham Hall, Norfolk.
Mr Assange has lived there for six months while he fights extradition to Sweden over allegations of sexual crimes, which he denies.
All of the cameras have been installed since Mr Assange moved there in mid-December.
On the video, Sarah Harrison, one of the WikiLeaks' team, says: “This is one of the three cameras that is outside each entrance of the property.
“We suddenly noticed them appearing since we have been here. We believe they are monitoring everything that goes in and out of the property.”
Vaughan Smith, who owns Ellingham Hall, adds: “I am not an expert on cameras but I believe that these take number plates and report number plates. I think the country is full of them but I don’t know why I need quite so many of them around my house.”
The five minute film is presented as a truncated video diary of Mr Assange’s six months living in Norfolk. It shows him being fitted with an electronic tag around his ankle by staff at Serco, and one of the several boxes in the house which monitor where he is.
It also shows him repeatedly going to the local police station to sign in, on two occasions wearing green Wellington boots.
At one stage, the WikiLeaks team film staff from Serco who have come to the house to check the boxes which monitor Mr Assange’s tag. They ask Mr Assange to stop the filming. He replies: “Why not? What is your company afraid of? Why would your company be afraid of the general public?”
Another supporter Joseph Farrell says: “He has kept to his bail conditions for six months now impeccably. His passport has been confiscated. Is all this necessary – or is it excessive?”
Daniel Hamilton, a director for civil liberties campaign group Big Brother Watch, said the cameras should be taken down.
He said: “Regardless of the allegations made against Mr Assange, he has not been charged with any crime.
“For his movements – and those of his visitors – to be monitored in this way constitutes an outrageous invasion of personal privacy. These cameras must be removed immediately.
“The Police and Home Secretary should make a clear and unequivocal statement that this type of underhand surveillance will not be tolerated in the United Kingdom.”
Local police said the CCTV cameras were not theirs. A spokesman for Norfolk Constabulary said: “No one is aware of any cameras being there.”
