Julian Assange gives his message in the Ecuadorian Embassy
The founder of Wikileaks spoke for the second time to his supporters from a balcony of the Embassy of Ecuador in London, where he has taken refuge for six months to avoid his extradition to Sweden.
Before a large number of fans that arrived to the exclusive district of Knightsbridge, west of the capital and in a kind of pre-Christmas message, Assange said his work will not be intimidated and that for 2013 he has planned the release of more than a million new documents affecting “all countries in this world.”
He also said that the Pentagon recently stated that the existence of Wikileaks “is a crime that continues.” “As long as this is happening and my government refuses to defend journalism and publications of Wikileaks, I will still be here,” said Assange.
“However, the door is open, and the door has always been open to anyone wanting to use standard procedures and seek to talk to me or guarantee my free passage,” said the Australian.
