WikiLeaks founder not on the Davos guest list


World Economic Forum (Wef) President Klaus Schwab said he would invite embattled WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange to Davos if he could, but he can’t.

“It’s our policy not to invite anyone who is currently the object of a legal complaint,” Schwab said in an interview with the SonntagsZeitung newspaper.

He said the forum, which takes place every January in the Swiss resort of Davos, would still discuss WikiLeaks, the group behind a mass-leak of confidential United States embassy cables that has embarrassed Washington.
