    Julian Assange Suing Ecuador

    As if that whole situation couldn't turn into anymore of a cluster, from BBC News:

    Julian Assange is to launch legal action against the government of Ecuador, accusing it of violating his "fundamental rights and freedoms".

    The Wikileaks co-founder has lived in its UK embassy since 2012 after seeking asylum to avoid extradition to Sweden over a rape claim - later dropped.

    He was given a set of house rules by the London embassy this week, including taking better care of his cat.

    Mr Assange faces arrest for allegedly breaching bail conditions if he leaves.

    Wikileaks lawyer Baltasar Garzon is in Ecuador to launch the case, which the Press Association reports is expected to be heard in court next week.

    Wikileaks said the country's government had threatened to remove the protection Mr Assange has had since being granted political asylum.

    It added that his access to the outside world had been "summarily cut off".

    In a memo, it threatened to confiscate the pet if he did not look after it, it said.

    The embassy did remove Mr Assange's internet connection in March, accusing him of "interfering in other countries' affairs".

    However, earlier this week it said it would be partially restored.

    In a statement, Wikileaks said: "Ecuador's measures against Julian Assange have been widely condemned by the human rights community."

    It claims the government of Ecuador refused a visit by Human Rights Watch general counsel Dinah PoKempner and had not allowed several meetings with his lawyers.

    Mr Assange's lawyers also said they were challenging the legality of the Ecuador government's "special protocol" - which makes his political asylum dependant on "censoring" his freedom of opinion, speech and association.
    I had forgotten Julian Assange was a thing.

    The quickest way to end the lawsuit is to kick him out.
    We could isolate Russia totally from the world and maybe they could apply for membership after 2000 years.

    They ought to give the Bobbies an hour’s notice, then handcuff Assange and throw him out onto the street.

    (Maybe the FSB or GRU will kill him before he starts blabbing. I suspect that’s who he is really hiding from. )
    If we have to march off into the next world, let us walk there on the bodies of our enemies.

    If the FSB or GRU want to kill him, that implies that he has information that would be damaging to Russia. So how does silencing him advance out interest?

    The government of Ecuador has picked up the tab for his room and board for how long now?

    He strikes me as an ungrateful asshole.

    If he can’t be bothered to take care of his cat then I volunteer to grab him and knee him hard right in the junk.
    Are you now, or have you ever been a member of the Doodie Project?

    He first went to hide there because of abuse of pussy and now is working on getting kicked out for the same thing. Ecuador seems to know irony.
