WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, who is fighting extradition to the United States from the Ecuadorean Embassy in London, told a judge last October that Ecuador is limiting his communications and bowing to pressure from the U.S., RT reports.

Assange, who hasn’t left the embassy since 2012 after he sought refuge there to avoid arrest and potential extradition for publishing thousands of classified military and diplomatic cables on the website, said he was also an “assassination risk.”

"There have been attempts by people to get into this embassy through the windows at night. It appears that there may have even been an attempt last night, at 4:30 a.m. I am an assassination risk. It is not a joke. It is a serious business.”

Assange, 47, also described how difficult it was living “without sunlight” for six years and “isolated from most people for seven months … and … from my young children.”

Ecuador wants Assange out.

Ecuador's Ministry of Foreign Affairs last Friday said in a statement that Assange and WikiLeaks have shown "ingratitude and disrespect" toward the country that has given him protection.
