The authorities of Ecuador intend to apply to a third party to resolve the issue of the "evacuation" of the founder of WikiLeaks Julian Assange from the territory of his embassy in London, reports BBC. According to the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ecuador Maria Fernanda Espinoza, finding an Australian within the walls of the diplomatic mission is already "irrational". "We are considering and studying the possibility of mediation," the minister said and added that participation in the fate of Assange "a third country or person". "A person can not live in such conditions forever," Espinosa stressed.. She also noted that no decision would be taken without international cooperation and without the participation of the United Kingdom, which "showed an interest in finding a way out" from the current situation.
According to some media reports, this decision with respect to the London soldier is due to the fact that the editor-in-chief of WikiLeaks angered the statements of President of Ecuador Lenin Moreno about his country's allies.
It is noted that Assange criticized, in particular, Spain, which, in his opinion, violated human rights.
Last December, Moreno advised the Australian not to interfere with the situation in Catalonia in connection with the previous referendum on the independence of the region from Spain.
Commenting on the RT in London, the vice-chairman of the UN Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, chairman of the International Law Commission of the Russian Association of Assistance to the UN, Aslan Abashidze, said that Moscow could provide the political head to the head of WikiLeaks, despite the fact that Russia has no such practice. "To grant or not is the prerogative of the Russian government. But if Assange turns to Russia, I think we need to give consent to show: freedom of speech is more guaranteed in Russia. Because Assange, indeed, is a fighter, "- says Abashidze. Recall, the exposer of the attack of the US Air Force on civilians in Iraq since 2012. lives in the territory of the diplomatic mission of Ecuador in London.
Earlier, an investigation was opened against him in Sweden, but the Scandinavian prosecutor's office closed the case.
Meanwhile, Assange is still threatened with the possibility of extradition to the US, because they believe that an Australian citizen should be brought to trial for publishing thousands of American secret documents. Britain is ready to arrest the founder of WikiLeaks in the case of failure to appear in court, as soon as he leaves the threshold of the Ecuadorian embassy.
