Problem:WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange under pressure to resign. Photo: Reuters 
  
 Melbourne computer hacker turned whistleblower extraordinaire Julian Assange is under pressure from within WikiLeaks to step down from the helm of the site he created. 
  
 Moves are already afoot to oust Assange if he chooses not to step down voluntarily. 
  
 After Swedish prosecutors reopened a rape investigation into Assange, 39, the stench has become all too much for several WikiLeaks organisers, including Birgitta Jonsdottir.

 Jonsdottir is also a parliamentarian in Iceland, where WikiLeaks is based due to the strong whistleblower protection laws in that country. 
  
 “I am not angry with Julian, but this is a situation that has clearly gotten out of hand,” Jonsdottir told The Daily Beast website. 
  
 “These personal matters should have nothing to do with WikiLeaks. I have strongly urged him to focus on the legalities that he’s dealing with and let some other people carry the torch.” 
  
 Swedish prosecutors dismissed a rape case against Assange within days of the claims being made by two Swedish women, but reopened their investigation after interviewing Assange over lesser molestation claims. 
  
 Sweden’s Director of Public Prosecutions, Marianne Ny, said new information had come to hand and Assange would be investigated on suspicion of “sexual coercion and sexual molestation”. 
  
 Ny said: “There is reason to believe that a crime has been committed.” 
  
 Assange has called the case against him a “legal circus” and said the allegations were “baseless and disturbing”. 
  
 He has said the claims were part of a smear campaign by opponents of WikiLeaks who are gunning for Assange after he released thousands of leaked documents about US military activities in Iraq and Afghanistan. 
  
 But police statements given by the two women at the centre of the rape claims, released last week, seemed to raise doubts over his claims of a smear campaign. 
  
 Jonsdottir, who speaks Swedish and read the police records, also dismissed the conspiracy theory, adding she had no reason to question the honesty of the two women making the charges against Assange. 
  
 “I really care very much for WikiLeaks and I do consider myself to be Julian’s friend. But good friends are the people who tell you if your face is dirty,” Jonsdottir said. 
  
 “Julian is brilliant in many ways, but he doesn’t have very good social skills. And he’s a classic Aussie in the sense that he’s a bit of a male chauvinist.” 
  
 The Daily Beast also quoted another anonymous WikiLeaks organizer as saying Assange’s insistence on remaining the public face of the whistblower site was creating “a mess for everyone” as the site prepares to release an additional cache of classified US military reports. 
  
 The comments back up an earlier report by Newsweek, which quoted two people familiar with WikiLeaks’ internal politics as saying moves were already afoot to restrict Assange’s role. 
  
 The insiders told Newsweek that the site was down for “scheduled maintenance” on multiple occasions recently as part of a deliberate effort to tweak the site’s operations so that Assange will have less control. 
  
 The report said anti-Assange factions within WikiLeaks were pushing for a summit later this month to debate Assange’s future. 
  
 But it’s not clear who would replace Assange as, despite the site’s philosophy around radical transparency, most other organisers of the site have remained hidden. ||||| Wikileaks founder Julian Assange pictured during a seminar at the Swedish Trade Union Confederation headquarters in Stockholm, Sweden, August 14, 2010. (Bertil Ericson, EPAI / Landov) The rape charges are the last straw for some organizers of WikiLeaks, who are demanding that Julian Assange, the website’s controversial point man, step aside. Philip Shenon reports. 
  
 Julian Assange is facing an insurrection, with WikiLeaks supporters outraged that Assange has insisted on remaining in charge of the whistleblowing website despite the rape allegations he faces in Sweden. 
  
 A prominent WikiLeaks organizer, Birgitta Jonsdottir, a parliamentarian in Iceland, tells The Daily Beast that she has encouraged Assange to step aside as WikiLeaks’ public spokesman and give up his other management responsibilities, at least until after the criminal investigation is over. 
  
 She said she did not believe repeated suggestions by Assange, the Australian-born founder and chief editor of WikiLeaks, that the assault allegations made by two Swedish women were part of an American-organized smear campaign. 
  
 "I have strongly urged him to focus on the legalities that he’s dealing with and let some other people carry the torch,” says WikiLeaks organizer Birgitta Jonsdottir. 
  
 “I am not angry with Julian, but this is a situation that has clearly gotten out of hand,” she said in a telephone interview. “These personal matters should have nothing to do with WikiLeaks. I have strongly urged him to focus on the legalities that he’s dealing with and let some other people carry the torch.” 
  
 “Somebody needs to say this,” she continued. “If it means I get banned, I don’t care. I really care very much for WikiLeaks and I do consider myself to be Julian’s friend. But good friends are the people who tell you if your face is dirty. There should not be one person speaking for WikiLeaks. There should be many people.” 
  
 Another WikiLeaks organizer, speaking on condition of anonymity, said that Assange had been resisting efforts over the last two weeks to push him off the public stage as a result of the criminal investigation in Sweden, and that his insistence on “staying in charge of everything” was creating “a mess for everyone” as the website prepares to release an additional library of 13,000 classified American military reports from the war in Afghanistan. The website outraged the Pentagon in July when it released more than 70,000 other classified reports from the war. 
  
 This WikiLeaks organizer said that internal protests directed at Assange resulted in a temporarily shutdown of the WikiLeaks website several days ago, nominally for mechanical reasons. “It was really meant to be a sign to Julian that he needs to rethink his situation,” the organizer. “Our technical people were sending a message.” 
  
 Assange has not responded to repeated requests for comment from The Daily Beast in recent weeks. And it is unclear who might take his place should he in fact step aside. In a video interview Thursday with a Swedish newspaper, Assange said the sexual-assault charges made against him were “baseless and disturbing” and said he was “losing confidence in the Swedish justice system.” 
  
 He acknowledges that the allegations might complicate his plans to obtain a residency permit to remain in Sweden, which has broad press freedom laws that could be used to shield WikiLeaks from American prosecutors. |||||
Solution:
People within WikiLeaks are pressuring Julian Assange to back away from the site he helped create. Assange—embroiled in a sex case in Sweden he calls a "legal circus"—may be ousted if he doesn't step down as the group's chief spokesperson until the matter is resolved, the Sydney Morning Herald reports. Assange's insistence on "staying in charge of everything” is creating “a mess for everyone” as WikiLeaks prepares to release more Afghan war documents, says one organizer. "These personal matters should have nothing to do with WikiLeaks," another organizer, Icelandic lawmaker Birgitta Jonsdottir, tells the Daily Beast. "I have strongly urged him to focus on the legalities that he’s dealing with and let some other people carry the torch.” She says she has read the police reports against Assange and she doesn't believe there's any truth to his claim that the sex charges are part of a smear campaign.
