    RUPTLY journalists were the ONLY journalists who were on hand to film the scene where asylum-seeker Assange was illegally kidnapped out of the Ecuador Embassy in Hans Crescent and bundled into a van.
    If RUPTLY journalist had not been there, the world would not have even known that Assange had been renditioned. UK journalists in dereliction of duty.

    RUPTLY photographer was the ONLY photographer to get the latest photo of Julian in the back of a police van as he left the Westminster Court on 21/10.The police sent out a couple of empty dummy vans as decoys, after which observers left. Hours later, the RUPTLY photographer who had stubbornly waited, saw a van emerge and ran after it to get that famous video of Assange in the back.
    The RUPTLY photographer repeatedly bangs on the van as it drives past says "what a hero! what a hero!" Assange mouths something back - some lip-read it as "I'm human".

    Sorry to say, because so many Britons I've met are lovely people, but UK seems a very scary place. It brings back bad memories of the nasty, scary South African security regime I grew up in. Same utterly ruthless, criminal thuggery lurking beneath a glossy and fake veneer.
