- You'd assume that Wikileaks the organization will continue to work even without Assange having internet access so what exactly will this accomplish other than lending support to Assange's stated reasons for hiding in an embassy to begin with?
edit: another comment here suggests the reason may be because his extradition is imminent.
- Is there any direct reason for the timing (US elections, attack on Mosul or other current headlines)?
- Was there any imminent release? (last week there was an announcement of a leak but it didn't materialize as far as I know)
