"We are also investigating whether the Prosecutor's application to have Mr. Assange held incommunicado without access to lawyers, visitors or other prisoners - again a unique request - is in any way linked to this matter and the recent, rather bellicose US statements of an intention to prosecute Mr. Assange."

Update 1: Jennifer Robinson and Mark Stephens told The Guardian that they had been watched by people parked outside their houses for the past week.

"I've noticed people consistently sitting outside my house in the same cars with newspapers," said Robinson. "I probably noticed certain things a week ago, but mostly it's been the last three or four days."

Stephens said he, too, had had his home watched. Asked who he thought was monitoring him, he said: "The security services."

Robinson said the legal team was also experiencing "other forms of pressure" from Washington," including an inappropriate attempt by the State Department to "elide client and lawyer" in correspondence: "It's quite a serious situation," she said, adding that, according to the UN's Basic Principles on the Role of Lawyers, governments should ensure that lawyers "are able to perform all of their professional functions without intimidation, hindrance, harassment or improper interference" and that "lawyers shall not be identified with their clients or their clients' causes as a result of discharging their functions."

1. Because the intelligence services/police have nothing better to do

than harass lawyers. The people's money at work! I say go outside and take pictures of the surveillance, see how they feel about being watched.

2. So, Sweden coorperated with rendition flights.

Oh, barf.

And the prosecutor has asked for Assange to be held incommunicado.


This is so disgusting, from every angle.

3. They're turning Assange into V ... as in the movie V Is For Vendetta.

Remember that scene in the end when thousands of people marched toward the Parliament wearing V masks and capes?

This is what's been mobilized by Wikileaks. Hundreds of thousands of Vs are getting ready to host Wikileaks files.

Exciting times, folks.

5. Very. The balance of power just got a kick in the remote.

That never happens.

6. We co-create our reality. It's always been the single individual who dared to try what no one

did before that changed the course of history.

Let's watch it again here together, the brilliant ending of V For Vendetta :)

4. Render Assange

Mission: UNDEMOCRATIC

7. That's that plan.

I hope they fail.
