WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, who has been holed up at Ecuador's London embassy for five months, has a lung condition that could get worse, the South American country's envoy to Britain said Wednesday.

"He has a chronic lung condition that could worsen at any time," Ambassador Ana Alban told reporters ahead of an annual gathering of Ecuador's diplomatic corps with President Rafael Correa in Quito.

Give the man diplomatic immunity ( and a peace prize!) so that he can get out of the claws of the dark force. And free Bradley Manning!

@ Discussion 1 No, he's a hero who deserves to be rewarded. The USA talks so much nonsense about human rights yet their pursuit of this man because of embarrassment, the continued operation of the Guantanamo concentration camp and the treatment given Cpl. Manning,(who leaked data to (Wikileaks) which has been condemned as inhumane shows their true colors.

He is in self imposed prison...good place for him. He knowingly broke the laws and should be willing to accept the punishment.
