WikiLeaks said an unknown man had climbed the Ecuadorian embassy in London where Julian Assange has been staying for four years. Users suggested that it was probably an assassination attempt, “ordered by Clinton.”
“…At 2:47am an unknown man scaled the side wall [and the] window of the Ecuadorian embassy in London; fled after being caught by security,” a statement from WikiLeaks said early Monday morning. Assange recently spoken to US media saying he would release more emails on Democratic Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, while he expressed suspicion of the death of a Hillary Clinton aide.

Later the group said that the intruder was “male” and he climbed the Ecuadorian embassy where “Assange has asylum.”

Assange has been living at the Ecuadorian embassy since 2012, under constant surveillance by British law enforcement. He was granted asylum after arguing that his extradition to Sweden, where he is wanted for questioning regarding allegations of sexual assault against two women in 2010 – which he has always denied – would lead to a further extradition to the United States.

He says that if he goes to Sweden, the US will managed to secure his extradition over espionage charges related to his work for WikiLeaks. He insists that the website defends human rights and exposes illegal actions by revealing classified material to public scrutiny.
In February, a UN panel ruled that Assange has been “arbitrarily detained” in the Ecuadorian embassy in London, calling upon the UK and Sweden to end Assange’s deprivation of liberty. However, both UK and Sweden rejected the ruling.
