No one is going to kill him jet, as he said if he should die all of the documents will be released.
so the polititians around the world have limited options.
Discrediting him they are trying to do that with the rape charges
Limit aces to the wikileaks site - this has been done in some countries
Get the files back and then kill him- probably a hard thing to do because he moste probably has multiple copies
Turn the masses on him well the labeling of him being a terrorist is an attempt at that.
Cut his financial support well that has been going on visa,mastercard, Banc of america all stopped working with wikileaks
Bribery - a dubble edged sword in my opinion i would not put it past assenage to videotape the deal and leak it.
And i bet they can think of other stuff tough no one is going to kill him yet not unless they find his files first
