The whistleblowing website tonight released five restricted files from the US Department of Defense, including the standard operating procedure manual for Camp Delta, Guantanamo Bay.
Over the next month, the website will publish more than 100 classified documents covering operating procedures at detention camps in Iraq and Cuba.
Earlier today, Britain was formally asked to guarantee Wikileaks founder Julian Assange safe passage to a hospital in London if required with officials at his Ecuador Embassy bolt-hole worried about his physical and mental health.
In the latest complex issue to befall the British and Ecuador governments with the 41-year-old Australian, Ecuador Vice Foreign Minister Marco Albuja Martinez said the situation was now becoming a serious issue of human rights.
“Assange has grown noticeably thinner and we are very concerned about his health,” Mr Martinez said yesterday.
“If he falls ill we will have to choose between two alternatives - to treat Assange at the embassy or hospitalise him.”
