For more than four years, Australian WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has been camped out in the Ecuadorian Embassy in London fearing extradition to Sweden on rape charges.
He fears a follow-on extradition to the US on espionage charges for his role in publishing thousands of classified documents on Wikileaks.

But being trapped in an embassy means you have a lot of time in your hands.
So while the Australian political refugee has continued to publish leaks from government officials, corporations and political operatives - he’s also had the time to tweet from his cat’s twitter handle, @EmbassyCat.
The cat, reportedly a gift from Assange’s children earlier this year, tweets about Hillary Clinton, Brexit, human rights, ‘counter-purrveillance’ and feline affairs.
In recent days, it seems Assange has taken to dressing up Embassy Cat – which at the very least provides some entertainment for the police camped outside.
Both a red and a blue tie have featured so far.
