Assange, 45, is wanted by Swedish authorities for questioning over allegations, which he denies, that he committed rape in 2010. "The Court of Appeal shares the assessment of the District Court that Julian Assange is still suspected on probable cause of rape," the court said. Per Samuelson, a Swedish lawyer representing Assange, said he had not yet talked to his client. Ecuador has set an Oct. 17 date for questioning Assange at its London embassy. Swedish prosecutors have said the questioning will be conducted by an Ecuadorian prosecutor.
