Assange Claims British Intelligence Messages Discuss Him Being Framed
By the Swedes
Julian Assange has claimed that British intelligence agents believe he has been framed by Swedish authorities seeking his extradition on rape allegations.
The founder of WikiLeaks, who has spent almost a year in the Ecuadorean embassy in London to avoid arrest and extradition to Sweden, claimed that he discovered "chatter" between employees at GCHQ in which they speculate over his "fit-up".
In an interview with Spanish television programme 'Salvados', broadcast on Sunday, Mr Assange said he had accessed unclassified instant messages between GCHQ employees discussing his case using a "subject access request".
