As WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange marks his 777th day in the Ecuadorian embassy in London, the Metropolitan Police has spent over $11.8 million on guarding the embassy.
Assange has been detained without charge for 1,337 days - and 777 of those days have been spent in the Ecuadorian embassy in London, according to the latest WikiLeaks
statement.
Meanwhile, the price tag for guarding Assange hit over seven million British pounds (US$11.8 million) early on Wednesday, according to govwaste.co.uk counter.
Officers have been staking out the embassy around the clock since June 2012, with the cost to the London taxpayers surpassing $15,000 per day.
At any time of the day or night, there are three officers stationed outside the embassy, ready to arrest Assange if he tries to leave.
The bill is likely to keep climbing; Ecuadorian authorities have said Assange is welcome to stay in the embassy for as long as required.
The UK has refused to provide Assange safe passage to Ecuador ever since the Australian sought refuge inside the embassy.
Comment: Should go without saying that exposing diseased dead bodies, especially ebola stricken ones, to the public space is an extremely bad idea. The oversight is even worse if the virus really is airborne: Ebola - What you're not being told.
