Julian Assange's stay at the London Embassy in Ecuador seems to be coming to an end. According to a report, the president of Ecuador, Moreno Assange, wants to give way to the British authorities
(dpa) Ecuador could, according to a report, visit Wikileaks founder Julian Assange stop at the London Embassy in the country against his will and hand him over to the British authorities. President Lenin Moreno plans to soon negotiate a similar agreement with the United Kingdom and to remove Asange's asylum, said revelation reporter Glenn Greenwald on the website "The Intercept."
Assange has lived for six years at the Ecuadorian Embassy. He had fled there to escape arrest and extradition to Sweden for alleged rape. Swedish justice closed its investigations in May of last year. However, the British authorities said that they would always stop him when leaving the embassy – because he had violated the law by fleeing to the country's embassy .
Assange had always said that he feared that he would eventually be extradited to the United States when he did so should leave the embassy. Washington blames him for publishing explosive US documents of wars in Afghanistan and Iraq on the Wikileaks platform. During the last US presidential campaign, Wikileaks also published stolen e-mails from the Democratic Party, purportedly by Russian hackers, damaging Donald Trump's candidate, Hillary Clinton, who was finally defeated.
The Greenwald report refers to the Ecuadorian circles Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Presidential Office. The journalist "Intercept" was at the time involved significantly in the processing of informant documents Edward Snowden, who had revealed a gigantic internet surveillance by the US intelligence service NSA.
