Wikileaks Shows the Severity of Accused Internet Celebrity Rapist Julian Assange’s House Arrest

Wikileaks has released a video showing the appalling conditions Julian Assange is facing while under house arrest. In fact, the only differences I see between his enforced lifestyle and a blogger’s life is the daily sign-ins at the local police-station. After being imprisoned for 10 days last December for alleged rape in Sweden, he was…
