The Swiss post office bank, PostFinance, has frozen the accounts of Wikileaks founder Julian Assange.
The whistle-blowing website says the freeze includes a defence fund and personal assets worth 31,000 euros.
Wikileaks has published hundreds of secret US diplomatic cables, angering the United States(US) government and triggering moves by several companies including PayPal and Amazon to end their services.
The move by Switzerland's PostFinance to freeze the Wikileaks accounts is the latest setback to hit the whistle-blowing website since it began publishing the US cables last week.
