TL;DR Summary

Russian artist Andrei Molodkin has threatened to destroy $45 million worth of art by Picasso, Rembrandt, and Warhol using acid if Julian Assange dies in prison. The artworks are stored in a 29-tonne safe with a corrosive substance, and Molodkin demands Assange's release. Assange, facing extradition to the US, has supporters concerned about his health. Molodkin's Dead Man's Switch project involves a timer that must be reset daily to prevent the destruction of the art, and Assange's wife supports the project as a form of protest against his imprisonment.
