This building
may just look like a nice piece of London architecture but located on one of
the floors is The Embassy of Ecuador. As you may have seen on the news, this is
the current home of Julian Assange, founder of the ‘Wikileaks’ website, who is
seeking political asylum in their country while wanted in ours. ‘Wikileaks’ is a whistle-blowing website and
you can read a little about it in a BBC article here. It’s situated in
a very posh part of town and if he did want to pop out for a pint of milk, the
shop on the corner is Harrods. Still, he’s
probably not going to do that as police are stationed outside, ready to arrest
him if he steps back on British soil.
Excellent tall sketch, love the composition. How strange would it be to live in there - for anyone - I'd go mad!
ReplyDeleteYes, I agree - it's like he's in prison already.
