Julian
Assange, the WikiLeaks founder who provided the world’s people with
the truth about US war crimes in the Middle East and many of
Washington’s coups and regime-change intrigues around the globe, is
in escalating danger.
Moves
are afoot to force Assange out of Ecuador’s London embassy, where
he sought political asylum close to six years ago and has been forced
to live as an effective prisoner. If he is taken into custody by
British authorities, he faces being handed over to the US government,
which has long sought to place him on trial on espionage charges that
potentially carry the death sentence.
The
British newspaper, the Guardian, originally published some of
WikiLeaks’ devastating exposures in 2010. It then turned viciously
against him, along with other international news outlets. Now, it has
instigated a foul campaign, clearly acting in league with various
intelligence agencies, to justify Ecuador reneging on Assange’s
asylum.
The
fresh offensive against Assange comes seven weeks after the
Ecuadorian government, under pressure from the US, Britain and other
powers, cut off Assange’s entire Internet and phone contact with
the outside world, and blocked his friends and supporters from
visiting him.
