Ecuador says UK violating human rights of WikiLeaks' Assange [View all] Zorro May 2013 OP

The British government has never been fond of granting anybody human rights. bemildred May 2013 #1

Would you be in favour of letting people off criminal allegations because they say they're political muriel_volestrangler May 2013 #3

LOL. Yes, I crush puppies for fun too. bemildred May 2013 #4

You support what he did with the women, even according to their accounts? muriel_volestrangler May 2013 #5

I don't believe that is what this is about. bemildred May 2013 #6

Thank you pmorlan1 May 2013 #10

Wouldn't he be more likely to be extradited from ENGLAND? telclaven May 2013 #15

He was extradited from Britain, that's why he is in the embassy. nt bemildred May 2013 #16

He hasnt been extradited until he is out of the country and hiding inside an embassy doesnt count. cstanleytech May 2013 #17

He hasn't been extradited because he is hiding in the embassy. nt bemildred May 2013 #19

Yes and I said as much. nt cstanleytech May 2013 #22

Right, so whether he might be extradited from Britain (post #15) is a moot point? bemildred May 2013 #23

Assuming your speculation is correct that the US wants to keep him penned up, silenced cstanleytech May 2013 #24

I think lots of people want to keep him penned up etc. Not just the US. bemildred May 2013 #25

Right. nt bemildred May 2013 #20

So you do think the political situation takes precedence over the criminal one muriel_volestrangler May 2013 #21

"stick to international agreements, and extradite him to Sweden, for their judicial process to work" cstanleytech May 2013 #26

Just like the US tried to extradite him from the UK? brooklynite May 2013 #35

When did the US file to extradite him? I know Sweden filed due to a sexual assault accusation cstanleytech May 2013 #40

That's my point... brooklynite May 2013 #41

But the law is what will be applied treestar May 2013 #28

Probably would not be the first time the UK refused to extradite someone. JDPriestly May 2013 #30

And Pinochet should have been extradited to Spain muriel_volestrangler May 2013 #38

The UK, along with most of the world, does not recognize diplomatic asylum hack89 May 2013 #7

England delayed extraditing Pinochet giving him many years to JDPriestly May 2013 #31

Pinochet did not claim asylum. hack89 May 2013 #36

But it wasn't. JDPriestly May 2013 #47

They made one poor choice. No reason to repeat the mistake. hack89 May 2013 #49

Its an interesting argument though isn't it? Bodhi BloodWave May 2013 #55

They've probably had enough of an unshaven, unwashed Assange hanging out at their embassy. Nye Bevan May 2013 #8

That's quite an imagination you've got there. bitchkitty May 2013 #9

They might be getting sick of him there. hrmjustin May 2013 #12

And they might not. bitchkitty May 2013 #13

Fair enough! So what do you think will happen in the end? hrmjustin May 2013 #14

Some sort of settlement. bitchkitty May 2013 #42

And they may be proudly standing up for free speech and JDPriestly May 2013 #32

Do you think they will give him up in the end? hrmjustin May 2013 #33

"...pioneering work of investigative reporting..." Are you kidding? randome May 2013 #29

You mean like the AP and Fox News? JDPriestly May 2013 #34

Which is probably why the U.S. does not want him. He published 'old news' that changed nothing. randome May 2013 #37

Why do conservatives hate whistle-blowers? nm rhett o rick May 2013 #39

You should find one to ask! randome May 2013 #43

What kind of evidence could prove beyond a shadow of a doubt JDPriestly May 2013 #46

I have no idea. But Assange could clear the entire matter up by going to Sweden. randome May 2013 #50

If it is his word against hers and the politics of his situation makes him feel JDPriestly May 2013 #53

Again, I have no idea. But in a 'he said/she said' situation, why automatically side with Assange? randome May 2013 #54

That's why countries have laws, legal systems and trials hack89 May 2013 #51
