Does anyone know anything about the conditions of Julian Assange’s imprisonment at the Ecuadoran embassy? Has he literally not been out of that little office flat in 2 years? I know they have converted part (probably most) of their limited floor space into an apartment for him, but other than that, can he go anywhere? Is he allowed to have guests at his leisure, say, entertaining spy groupies? Can he bring in whatever booze or other recreational materials he wants?
If he hasn’t been outside in this whole time, he might want to consider that the well designed and progressively managed Swedish prisons allow inmates fresh air and sunshine and even their own little gardens if they are so inclined. Wouldn’t that be wonderful, Julian? To trod the well maintained turf of a Swedish facility, to smell the pine trees that are no doubt nearby, to feel the sun on your face, to be able to walk, say, 50 meters without having to reverse yourself. You also wouldn’t have the constant din of London traffic just a few feet away or the constant fear that your benefactors in Quito will be voted out and you will be thrown out.
