AUSTRALIAN Julian Assange must take legal action against the Government of Ecuador while he continues to seek refuge at the country's embbady in London.
The founder of WikiLeaks, 47, received a set of new home rules earlier this week, including cleaning his bathroom and improving his cat's care.
In a memo, he threatened to confiscate the animal if he did not take care of "his well-being, his food and his hygiene".
Ecuador blocked Assange's Internet and mobile phone access in March after "interference in the affairs of other countries", breaking "a written pledge" he had provided.
The co-founder of Wikileaks remained at the embbady after asking for asylum to avoid extradition to Sweden following an allegation of rape – the investigation was later dropped.
Assange has been at the London embbady in Ecuador since 2012, fearing extradition to the United States if he leaves.
The news came after the Ecuadorian government tried to free WikiLeaks' founder from his London hideaway by appointing him political advisor to the country's embbady in Moscow.
But British authorities vetoed his diplomatic status, effectively preventing him from taking up his new post in Russia.
The files were made public this week by the politician of the Ecuadorian opposition, Paola Vintimilla, who opposes the decision of her government to grant Assange nationality.
They largely corroborate a recent guardian The newspaper reported that Ecuador had attempted the elaborate maneuver just before Christmas last year.
Russian diplomats have described the story as "false information", but records show that Assange was briefly named "political adviser" at the Ecuadorian Embbady in Moscow with a monthly salary set at 2 000 dollars.
Ecuador even went so far as to ask for a diplomatic identity card, as the documents show, but the plan seems to have collapsed with the British veto.
