Wikileaks Party - Julian Assange runs for Aussie Senate

[xdrive]

WIKILEAKS founder Julian Assange plans to run for a seat in the Australian Senate, despite being under house arrest in the United Kingdom, the whistleblower group has tweeted.

Wikileaks announced its intentions on Saturday, saying the organisation also planned to field a candidate to run against Prime Minister Julia Gillard in her seat of Lalor at the next election.

"We have discovered that it is possible for Julian Assange to run for the Australian Senate while detained. Julian has decided to run," the Wikileaks website tweeted.

Assange is being detained in England facing possible extradition to Sweden, where police want to question him over allegations that he sexually assaulted two women in 2010.

Pakistan should offer Julian asylum since he is being politically prosecuted and faces danger to his person.

Rofl. Pakistan would be the last choice.

He isn't being prosecuted in Australia. He is a citizen of Australia.

If he becomes an Australian senator he might be able to claim diplomatic immunity.
