Julian Assange, the founder and editor of the controversial Wikileaks has activated his 5 years old Twitter and told everyone that he is in fact alive.

Conspiracy theorists have been spreading false rumors recently. According to them Assange died during his period of asylum at Ecuador’s embassy in London.

Wikileaks have denied these allegations in recent months and his tweet also mocked those theorists.

Who runs Wikileaks account?

It is believed that the Wikileaks Twitter account is run by Julian Assange, but publicly he denies it. Although, sources believe that after getting betrayed by his trusted friends, he’s unlikely to trust anyone else with access.

Last week, he released a statement through the Wikileaks page in which he called on the US and Sweden to restore his freedom.
