Julian Assange, the founder of the whistle-blower website Wikileaks, has categorically denied Swedish sexual abuse charges launched against him.
The country's prosecution authority has dropped an arrest warrant for a rape charge, but a separate molestation accusation is still under investigation.
Wikileaks has been criticised for leaking controversial documents on the US-led war in Afghanistan. And the website is preparing to release a fresh batch of classified documents.
