Assage seeks asylum in Ecuador

12 years ago
I don't know if I should post this because he hasn't gotten to Ecuador yet

http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/lookout/wikileaks-founder-julian-assange-reportedly-seeks-asylum-ecuador-192338226.html

"Officials in Ecuador are claiming that WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has asked them for political asylum in their country, a request they are reportedly considering.
"Ecuador is studying and analyzing the request," Foreign Minister Ricardo Patino told reporters Tuesday in Quito, according to Reuters.
Assange currently faces extradition charges to Sweden over alleged sex crimes. Assange has denied the allegations. He is not currently charged with any crime, but officials in Sweden say they want to question him over the allegations."

Assage got into some trouble with the US government and there is a conspiracy theory that the US government is trying to get Sweden to arrest him and then extradite him to the US so they can detain him in a military prison.

Anyway Ecuador seems like a possible safe haven as it's president is buddies with Castro and Chavez. There was all these CIA/Mafia assassination plots on Castro in the 60's and Corea must know about those. So perhaps Julian is hoping they will give him the extra protection he thinks he needs. Maybe Susan you can put him up at the Oceanhideaway? LOL
