nor the ecuadorian government are willing to give it a short. it's that mr assad will not be handed over to the americans then quite obviously he is in great fear and greed in great danger that he could be extradited to the us and you know extradited for what he published material leaked by chelsea manning the whistleblower which channel light on human rights abuses and war crimes by the united states and double standards and duplicity by the us government in its diplomatic relations he caused an inconvenience and embarrassment to the u.s. government in my view that was a great public service he gave the american public and the rest of the world the information to know what the u.s. government and military were really doing we should have information as a matter of course you know government is supposed to be of the people for the people and by the people but it wasn't so julius took that information that chelsea manning had provided and published it in the same way that the new york times and the guardian in london have also published that mate

the ecuadorian president that i can dition for future u.s. cooperation in the war on drugs for economic collaboration and for other like aid and development money that must be contingent on ecuador getting a song out of the embassy so the pressure is clearly on i think that the special protocols which are quite extraordinary. directly a response to the pressure that there could organs are facing from the united states. you mentioned some of the conditions i mean that there are far more draconian ones i mean in recent weeks during the songes been prevented from having visits by his lawyer. human rights watch has been refused permission to visit him and they have responded by saying that he is in effect being held in cannot incommunicado insults he confinement with fewer rights than prisoners being held in a maximum security jail that's pretty pretty extreme but then you've got other issues for example ecuador saying that if journalists or lawyers or anyone wants to visit journalist songe they must hand over the passwords codes and serial numbe

made by making him an official ecuadorian diplomat to russia because he is officially in ecuador andso this and the british government ultimately mix the move i think the one of the big questions around you is what are julian's options at this point is there any way per him believe that embassy and maintain his freedom given the enemies that he has acquired for running an operator. wiki leaks. obviously m.b.'s may been solved and doesn't want him to continue to operate ok let's be honest they do not want him to operate they have a lot of dirty laundry they don't want aired out there he has done nothing wrong this letter talks about him being a criminal a dangerous criminal because he skipped bail ok there is a dangerous criminal walking the streets of london and his name is tony blair and there's another guy named jack straw there out there those are two criminals a committed war crimes they could get those guys right now go after a big fish not a guy who skipped bail exactly what and let me let me ask this of you know when you did with julian last year and you were able to see or yo

officials and the ecuadorian president discussing the matter and this is what we can weeks had to say in reaction to this announcement to partially return his ability to communicate with the outside world it is positive that through un intervention ecuador has partly ended the isolation of mr saunders well though it is of great concern that his freedom to express his opinions is still limited the u.n. has already declared mr song victim of arbitrary detention this unacceptable situation must and julian assange just biggest fear of course remains of possible extradition to the united states where he fears being prosecuted for the work that we can leaks have been doing over the years and he and his team want to see guarantees that such a thing would not happen and of course they have not seen any such promises as of yet anderson and his team of course are continuing to work on any possible legal options for him moving forward but the way things stand as we speak the future in the next steps for this massive big case for julian assange continues to be extremely unclear. the marriage of a

is an ecuadorian citizen he was granted this is chip he has the rights of a citizen which includes freedom of expression and freedom of association so quite clearly what ecuador is doing to do is in violation of its own laws and own constitution this kind of restriction is enough to drive someone to a mental breakdown. that is the intention to make life so on bearable for during a song that he will voluntarily decide to be. that's the way i think most people including people in the human rights community are reading it this is basically an ultimatum to joining us. right up so far always so much more because. that's good or bad survival guide ecstacy going to the store to have all these are . you sure they're going to get it. back to. oh no this is a repatriation scheme when we get arrested seven years. military you guys record. what politicians do something to. put themselves on the line they get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president and sure. some want to be. too great to be approached this is like the full story of the book can't be good. i'm interested always in the wat
