Assange Lashes Out: “Hypocritical Motherf*ckers… Remember How I Exposed Your Secret Deal With The Saudis”<\/a><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n

Wikileaks founder Julian Assange lashed out at the UK government over Twitter on Friday after Britain’s official UN account (UK Mission to the United Nations) tweeted “A free and independent media fulfils a vital role in holding the powerful to account and giving a voice to the powerless,” with a link to a puff piece<\/a>\u00a0waxing eloquent over the UK’s commitment to free speech.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Assange – apparently not included in the UK’s definition of “free and independent media” (facing\u00a0arrest and detention\u00a0should he leave the Embassy),\u00a0fired off a stunning reply – claiming that the UK’s has spent roughly twice as much spying on him as it has on their entire international human rights program.<\/p>\n

“And that is exactly why you have detained me without charge for eight years in violation of two UN rulings and spent over 20 million pounds spying on me you hypocritical mother fuckers. Your entire international human rights programme is \u00a310.6m you pathetic frauds.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Assange then followed up with “Remember how I exposed your secret deal to put Saudi Arabia on the Human Rights Council?”<\/strong>\u00a0referring to a 2015 vote-trading deal in which the UK approached\u00a0Saudi Arabia in secret, promising it a seat on the UN Human Rights Council in exchange for council support.<\/div>\n
