This comes as British MPs urge the government to prioritise Assange’s extradition to Sweden if prosecutors reopen an investigation of an alleged rape there.

Extensive 'spying operation' discovered against Julian Assange, WikiLeaks revealsThe resulting trove of audio, video, photographs and even copies of private legal documents and a medical exam turned up in Spain, where a group threatened to start publishing them if WikiLeaks did not pay them three million euros. NickdMiller Wikleaks lost any credibility when it tied itself to Putin & became a dirt file unit for Trump & other authoritarians jaraparilla NickdMiller Almost the whole truth. Some glaring omissions of facts eg INA Papers weren't published by WikiLeaks; JA hasn't had phone/internet access for a year so he couldn't possibly hack Moreno's phone etc; Sweden did interview JA and subsequently closed the case due to lack of evidence.

WikiLeaks claims Julian Assange was subject of spying at Ecuadorian embassyWikiLeaks says its founder Julian Assange has been the subject of a sophisticated spying operation in London's Ecuadorean embassy where he has been holed up since 2012. Yeah? Well John Podesta was the subject of Assange spying on him. I could rustle up a little sympathy if his so called 'exposing the truth' was across the board. It isn't. Now we dealing with his mess. I was 110% behind WikiLeaks when it started, then it became 110% about Julian. Maybe he should leave then, you know, walk out of that unlocked door he is hiding behind.
