Radical Transparency 1, Britain 0: Assange Granted Asylum
Techno-anarchist Julian Assange has been granted asylum by Ecuador,guaranteeinghis bleak safety in their dark UK embasssy against British authorities who are salivating to extradite the Wikileaks editor to Sweden where he faces charges of sexual assault. Despite threats to be raided by British authorities,Ecuadorremained defiant in their defense, which has caused it to become the epicenter of a political carnival outside their humble embassy.We remind the public that these extraordinary actions are being taken to detain a man who has not been charged with any crime in any country, they said in a statement. We further urge the U.K. government to show restraint, and to consider the dire ramifications of any violation of the elementary norms of international law.Original Link: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/AUPJ1JYnlJc/
