Julian Assange Still Holed Up In Ecuadorian Embassy

Wikileaks founder Julian Assange is still holed up in the Ecuadorian Embassy – where he’s been for nearly a week now seeking political asylum. But now Assange is suggesting he may be willing to go to Sweden to face questions over sexual abuse allegations – but only if he gets some guarantees. Speaking to the Sydney Morning Herald – Assange said he is prepared to go to Sweden, but only if he receives diplomatic guarantees that he will not be handed over to the United States to face charges of treason and espionage – crimes punishable by death. There are numerous reports that the United States is building a case against Assange – and will attempt to extradite Assange to the states once he arrives in Sweden. Keep an eye on this story as it develops – the United States may soon be claiming yet another political prisoner.
