Inhumane Ecuador viciously oppressing helpless embassy prisoner Assange

[struggle4progress]

... The memo, which was first published by Ecuadorean website Codigo Vidrio, specified that Assange must pay for his own expenses like food, medical and laundry, that visitors must have prior authorization and that he must not only keep the spaces inside the Embassy clean, but also take care of his cat, CNN said.

It also said that he was not allowed to interfere in any other country's political affairs. The leaked document said that the 47-year-old was at risk of losing both his pet and his asylum status if he did not comply ...

Lawyers for Assange have said they will challenge the legality of the Ecuador government's "special protocol", which make his political asylum contingent on "censoring" his freedom of opinion, speech and association.

Assange's legal team claimed the Ecuador Embassy can seize his property or that of his visitors and, without a warrant, hand it over to UK authorities ...

... Among the conditions imposed by the Ecuadorian government, the embassy would decide who could visit Assange and when, while restricting his ability to comment on political issues. It also orders him to take proper care of his cat or risk having it handed to a shelter.

"Mention of the cat is degrading," Garzon said ...

Documents made public this week revealed Ecuador granted citizenship to Assange in December in a failed bid to transfer him to Moscow as an Ecuadorian diplomat. Garzon said that "was a decision made by the government of Ecuador and accepted by Assange" and that failure of the plan, later blocked by the British Foreign Office, wasn't his client's fault ...

... Quito confirmed blocking Assange’s internet and mobile phone access in March after accusing him of breaking “a written commitment” not to interfere in Ecuador’s foreign policies.

A protocol governing Assange’s stay at the embassy -- revealed by Ecuadoran internet site Codigo Vidrio and never denied by Quito – warns that further breaches will lead to “termination of asylum.”

Assange sues Ecuador for violating ‘fundamental rights’ while in asylum

... WikiLeaks lawyer Baltasar Garzon arrived in Ecuador this week to launch legal proceedings.

In a news conference Friday, Garzon said there "a number of measures which have a threatening tone" and accused the Ecuadorian government of "not doing enough" ...

A member of Assange's legal team, Carlos Poveda told CNN earlier this week that the rules were a "unilateral imposition from Ecuador in order to weaken the asylum granted to Assange (by) establishing conditions that are stronger than a jail" ...

Assange's lawyers argue that Ecuador is breaching his rights by continuing to deny him access to the internet; the whistleblower was pulled offline back in March for failing to follow rules that Ecuador said he agreed to as part of his asylum ...

2. What a whining little pussy

Oh the inhumanity;
He has to clean out the cat box
He can't insult other countries while a guest
I'm not sure about internet access being a basic human right
I can wait for this bastid to be jailed, seeing where he is and how long he has been there, he could have been put off jail already.

3. They asked him to clean his room, take of his

cat, and not interfere in Ecuador's foreign policies.

Apparently assange couldn't manage that.

I've been here so long I remember when you were posting articles on assange that weren't flattering, and it seemed like the majority of the board was complaining.

I always liked your OPs 'cause I thought he was a POS then, too.

4. Almost 50 years old

and has to be told to feed his cat, keep his room clean and take a shower. Something my kids have done since they were 12.

5. It's not a condition of the asylum but of staying at the embassy

Why is mentioning his pet "degrading?" Why doesn't he take care of it properly in the first place?

Not every Ecuadorian gets to live on the government dime like that.

10. Jules can calm this situation down.

He can walk down the street, pick up a fresh batch of scones and bring them back to embassy staff. Problem solved.

Doesn't seem to rise to the title "whistleblower", to me; more like "ownhornblower".
