[quote:thewwwasp:MV8zOTI3MzM4XzcwODc0OTY2X0VGNjg1MEZF] https://www.theregister.co.uk/2018/10/19/julian_assange_ecuador_legal_fight/ “...Housemate from hell [b]Julian Assange is taking his landlord, the government of Ecuador, to court to stop its officials from, allegedly, running roughshod over his human rights[/b]. The WikiLeaks supremo is fed up with being essentially held in near-solitary confinement in an Ecuadorian embassy broom cupboard in London, England. [i]In 2012, Assange was granted political asylum by Ecuador and was allowed to stay in its embassy in the UK capital to avoid extradition to Sweden, which at the time was investigating allegations of sexual assault against him. The Australian was cuffed and bailed in the UK in 2010, after the Swedes got a European arrest warrant for him, and while facing deportation to Sweden, he legged it to the embassy.[/i] Assange feared if he was transferred to Sweden, he would shortly be vanished into thin air by the CIA for publishing, among other material, 700,000-plus secret American diplomatic cables – which were slipped to WikiLeaks by US Army intelligence analyst Chelsea Manning. [i]Thus, he ducked into Ecuador's Knightsbridge pad.[/i] Sweden's prosecutors have since dropped their probe against Assange, although if he steps foot outside the flat, Brit cops will nab him for breaching his bail conditions – he wasn't cleared to live in the embassy, and was supposed to be staying with friends in the countryside. And, again, he fears if he's collared, he'll be on the next plane to a CIA black site...” [/quote]

“...
Julian Assange foiled a break-in at his flat in the Ecuadorian Embassy
, his legal team has claimed.
The WikiLeaks founder
was woken up in the middle of the night after an alleged intruder attempted to enter a window at the front of the embassy building.
However the opening of the window knocked over a fire hydrant that Mr Assange had set up as a 'booby trap', his lawyers have said.
Scaffolding was later erected against the embassy building in Knightsbridge, west London, which representatives said 'obscures the embassy's security cameras'...”
“...The alleged break-in on October 26
was revealed by activist and journalist Suzie Dawson
, who was provided with a statement by Mr Assange's legal team.
Supporters of Mr Assange claim that the whistleblower has been put at risk of abduction by a lack of security at the Ecuadorian Embassy...”
