One of the two Swedish women whose complaints led to the arrest of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has been identified as a supporter of Cuban dissident groups.

A U.S. diplomatic cable made public by WikiLeaks meanwhile reported that Brazilian officials had said that Brazil's investment in expanding the Cuban port of Mariel was based "on the assumption that Cuba and the United States will eventually develop a trading relationship."

Anna Ardin's links to Cuba were posted in several Web sites Tuesday after Assange was detained in London on a Swedish extradition request to face charges of sex crimes against Ardin and Sofia Wilén.

Ardin visited Cuba about four times between 2002 and 2006 as a representative of Swedish social democrats, said Manuel Cuesta Morua, head of Cuba's Arco Progresista, a social-democratic dissident group.
