Julian Assange ‘Assassination’ Claimed After Foiled Ecuadorian Embassy Break-in
by Oliver JJ Lane22 Aug 2016


Speculation over an attempt on the life of Wikileaks founder and political refugee Julian Assange is rife today after a man was detected scaling the wall of the Ecuadorian Embassy in London, where Mr. Assange has been living for the past four years.
