"Artist Vows to Dissolve Priceless Art in Acid if Julian Assange Dies"

Artist Andrei Molodkin plans to destroy up to $45 million worth of art, including pieces by Rembrandt, Picasso, and Warhol, with acid if Julian Assange dies in prison. The project, called "Dead Man's Switch," has the support of Assange's wife Stella and is intended to protest Assange's possible extradition to the U.S. for publishing classified documents. Many press freedom groups have criticized Assange's prosecution, and concerns about his safety and well-being have been raised by U.N. officials and Australian lawmakers. If Assange is released from prison, the art will be returned to their owners.
