WikiLeaks co-founder Julian Assange has directed his legal team to launch proceedings against the government of Ecuador for "violatinghis fundamental rights."In a statement, WikiLeaks said Friday Ecuador had "threatened to remove his protection and summarily cut off his access to the outside world."
It added that the embassy has refused journalists and human rights organizations to see him as well as installed signal jammers to prevent phone calls and internet access.
The whistleblower has been holed up at the Ecuadorian Embassy in London since 2012 when he was granted asylum as part of a bid to avoid extradition to Sweden where he was facing allegations of sexual assault. The case has since been dropped but as Assange fears US extradition due to his work with Wikileaks, he has remained in place.
The accusations against Ecuador come after a document was leaked earlier this week revealinga new set of house rules Assange must adhere to in London from December 1.
The memo, which was written in Spanish and first published by Ecuadorean website Codigo Vidrio, specifies 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. It also reiterates the position that he is not allowed to interfere in any other country's political matters.
The leaked document says that the 47-year-old is at risk of losing both his pet and his asylum status if he does not comply.

This guy is like a bum who moved into your house and wont leave. Throw him out already!
 
Isn't there an international warrant out for this guy?

"If you want him come and get him..."
 
Talk about ungrateful. That lawsuit should have been the last straw. If I were Ecuador after that I would kick him out on the street. That is like letting someone stay at your house rent free as a favor and then they sue you for not sharing the WiFi password.

I think he must really want to be arrested by Mueller.

You know though I have seen lawsuits along these lines..... where people take into their homes others in need, let them stay for a long time rent free because someone feels sorry for someone else, and then when they get tired of the freeloaders and try to change the situation the courts decide that the freeloaders have earned some expectation of freeloading by all of the freeloading that they have been doing, and thus get to stay for awhile longer. It is much like how in the olden days wives could demand that their husbands keep them "in the lifestyle to which they have become accustomed" even after divorce.

Lesson here: No good deed goes unpunished.
 
This seems really stupid. Suing in what court?

I can't believe people are so entranced by this POS.

Hopefully, he'll be sharing a jail cell with Manafort soon.

Even if he was tried in a US federal court, I seriously doubt he'd end up in the same place as Manafort.

Manafort only ****ed around with money, not secrets, and we let money ****ery slide because...money.
 
Assange has been sucking at Ecuador's teat since 2012.

Throw the mope out.

He has been directly involved in the releasing of all kinds of classified intel.

The US government wants his ass bad.
