Assange, the world’s best-known political refugee, has been in the embassy since he was offered sanctuary there last June. British police in black Kevlar vests are perched night and day on the steps leading up to the building, and others wait in the lobby directly in front of the embassy door.

The horror of what these monstrous criminals are perpetrating is beyond description ~ my gut just churns and I dream very dark dreams.
