(FILES) This file photo taken on December 20, 2012 shows Wikileaks founder Julian Assange gesturing as he addresses members of the media and supporters from the window of the Ecuadorian embassy in Knightsbridge, west London on December 20, 2012. WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange started his fifth year camped out in the Ecuadoran embassy in London on June 19, 2016, an occasion his supporters were to mark with events celebrating whistleblowers. The 44-year-old is wanted for questioning over a 2010 rape allegation in Sweden but has been inside Ecuador's UK mission for four full years in a bid to avoid extradition. The Australian former computer hacker fears that from Sweden he could be extradited to the United States over WikiLeaks' release of 500,000 secret military files, and could face a long prison sentence there. / AFP PHOTO / LEON NEALLEON NEAL/AFP/Getty Images
