“WikiLeaks vow cable releases will continue after Assange denied bail,” headlines the Guardian, the day after the WikiLeaks co-founder’s arrest and incarceration in London on 7 December. Nearly two weeks after the whistle-blowing site began the release of 250,000 US embassy cables, Assange, accused of rape in Sweden, spent the night in Wandsworth prison, the London daily reports. Despite the presence of luminaries such as film director Ken Loach offering to stand surety totalling £180,000 (€215,000) the judge argued that the Australian Assange's "weak community ties” in the UK, his "means and ability" to abscond, were substantial grounds for refusing bail. A spokesman for WikiLeaks declared, "This will not stifle WikiLeaks. The release of the US embassy cables – the biggest leak in history – will still continue. We will not be gagged, either by judicial action or corporate censorship."
