first protection should be go to the united states it's a very serious situation his health is serious we're worried about permanent impact on his health as a result of the situation and all the positive things they're going to buy that he's going to cut off from all these are. sure we have been making a number of appeals both to the british government through the ecuadorian government and more broadly about his health situation he has been inside a building for the past six years without access to sunlight or outdoor area to exercise if he was in prison he would being required to have an hour outside every day that is the u.n. standard he's not had that and despite requests from the ecuadorian authorities the british government will not allow him to leave the embassy to seek medical treatment what that's meant is that he's had a number of health conditions including a shoulder which isn't he's an incredible pain he needs an m.r.i. that is not the sort of thing that you can bring into into the embassy and so he situation is very serious we've had him medically assessed there's been an appeal
10:31 am
by doctors to the british medical association appealing to them to allow him the health care that he needs and the british government continues to say he will not get that kind of medical treatment he must come out of the embassy and in order to get that medical treatment he must give up the right to asylum that he's being granted by the ecuadorian government used to seek an assurance from the united states what about there was a little sort world evidence that was there for use with knowledge. it's not back on so almost six months ago he was cut off from the internet after tweeting about catalonia being here boss letter i think it's important to recognize that fact and since then he's been cut off from visitors internet telephone calls and the only people he's allowed to see is his legal team that being else that's made what was already a very difficult situation even more difficult it's effectively as human rights watch has acknowledged solitary confinement and it's an untenable situation so we are in a situation where he continue. he faces the risk the risk of extradition the u.k.
10:32 am
government won't recognize the a song that's being granted and also won't give an assurance to protect him from being sent to the u.s. to face publication to face prosecution for having published material in the public interest it's a very serious situation. reportedly discussed how to remove him from the embassy is it possible that you know. logistically what would have. well it ecuador has said and made clear in the past month after this widespread speculation that he would be forced to leave that they will respect the asylum if he walks out of the embassy he will be arrested and taken to. a court where he will face potential prosecution for a bail offense for having walked into the embassy when he was on bio to seek asylum we believe he has a defense of that and even if he were to be prosecuted it is a minor offense with a no more than a three month. jail time or
10:33 am
a fine but ab major concern is that once he's in custody the u.s. will unseal an indictment and an extradition request for him to be sent to us to face criminal prosecution we have tried to seek assurances about that we have tried to get information about that and they refused to give any more information so if he is to walk out he faces that risk and it's released an enclosure and it was one journalist it was the words over. the u.s. criminal investigation that's been ongoing since two thousand and ten is. within a grand jury and it is a criminal offense in the united states to reveal whether or not there is an indictment so for many years people have said well you know you say there's this risk but there's nothing in the public record that's correct there's nothing on the public record but that is the nature of the process we know that criminal investigation is ongoing we know the attorney general has said that prosecuting him is a priority and we are very concerned that if and when. he walks out of the embassy
10:34 am
and he is in british custody as we were concerned before about if he were extradited to sweden and taken into swedish custody that the u.s. would then seek his extradition under the terms of what we think exists which is a sealed indictment we don't know for a fact result of that investigation that has now been dropped he has already spent far more time in prison than he would ever have been required to for having. entered the embassy while conditions we say he has served time he has he had a reasonable excuse and that this is this is a minor offense what she would add to the british government how would you like the size of her lingers after his and us extradition. join us on has always said that he's happy to face british justice but not at the risk of facing american injustice we entirely accept that he can and will face any process within the u.k. related to potential bio proceedings but he should be able to do that with the assurance that he will not be extradited to the united states to face prosecution
10:35 am
for having exercise internationally protect the rights of free speech to publish material in the public interest we think is entirely appropriate for the british government to give an assurance of that nature to protect him from that and then he will face whatever british process is required in the context of the potential bio proceedings but there is no need for him to do so and also have to face the risk of extradition to the us and that is entirely within the british government's power to do other things to ask you know if you is going to want to get your thoughts on it the depressed use agency claims it's got a letter stating that a son wanted to apply for asylum to come into russia back in twenty ten amid the height of the sexual misconduct allegations from sweden now wiki leaks officially the fischel thing is that that's not true it's being denied what is the truth of the matter is that still the case never applied to russia for this. as you. correctly wiki leaks has already made clear that join us and had not and
10:36 am
did not apply for a russian visa or at that time and in fact that fact could be verified with the russian embassy or by the british authorities who hold continue to hold his passport in relation to these proceedings so they can tell you whether or not there's a visa inside his palace would be the smart thing to do this is also it's like going to be actually you know it's all russian embassy etc. a decision was taken to fight extradition in the u.k. based on the british rule of law and british extradition proceedings we have been disappointed by that process as a result of what's happened to him and the fact that he has had to seek asylum to protect him from extradition to the united states that was the decision that was taken at that time the documents that have been published by associated press wiki leaks has said fabricated that join the senate did not create that document he has not applied for a visa in the in to russia and in fact the source of that material is someone who has since been convicted of fraud for fabricating information in relation to julian
10:37 am
assange and does that and in addition to that the source of that material has and has admitted has admitted and is on the record as having participated in a paid f.b.i. invest counterintelligence operation in which he was paid by the f.b.i. to obtain information about wiki leaks and us as his lawyers now questions need to be asked about what the u.k. knew about that happening back back then and whether the u.k. knew that there was counterintelligence operation being directed against both we could make some asses lewis further associated press leak let's supposing that deployed for saudi russia to return it's just a part of a treasure trove of similar stuff similar financial records. other documents leaked to a very well known much respected news agency you're saying all of that is wrong. i'm not. saying that it's wrong that they have received material all i'm saying is
10:38 am
that they have received material including legally privileged material and we understand that the source of that material is someone who had access to wiki leaks and was paid by the f.b.i. to be an informant that is a real concern it doesn't. has made incredibly clear and definitively clear that join us and did not apply for a russian base at that time and that document is fabricated that is the position and irrespective of what other material we have they have let's see it and see what how do you try to contact russia at a later date you know. to my knowledge there's been no contact with russia certainly i'm not privy to that information as you say in the u.n. panel ruled that he's unlawfully in arbitrarily and should be released nothing has been done so far with hindsight this is going on year after year you tell us the state he's in there in the embassy we know the ramifications of what
10:39 am
what the ecuadoran leadership said this year is not welcome except i could could you have maybe you and your team of handled this differently with the right decisions taken at the time when it's easy to say no looking but we. could you don't need anything differently with hindsight. we have use every legal mechanism available to us in order to be able to protect join us on tremendous addition to the united states we fought extradition to sweden right up until the supreme court we have since protect sought to protect him in terms of asserting his right to asylum making appeals to the united nations having the united nations declare that he's arbitrarily and i'm awfully detained as lawyers we have done everything that we can and use every legal mechanism available to us to be able to protect his rights what this demonstrates this case is inherently political what it requires is a political decision to give assurance against extradition to the united states it requires political negotiation between.
