The point is what Muslim would care about him while Muslims suffer a far worse fate.

Ecuador Will Imminently Withdraw Asylum for Julian Assange and Hand Him Over to the U.K. What Comes Next?

Ecuador’s President Lenín Moreno traveled to London on Friday for the ostensible purpose of speaking at the 2018 Global Disability Summit (Moreno has been using a wheelchair since being shot in a 1998 robbery attempt). The concealed actual purpose of the president’s trip is to meet with British officials to finalize an agreement under which Ecuador will withdraw its asylum protection of Julian Assange, in place since 2012; eject him from the Ecuadorian Embassy in London; and then hand over the WikiLeaks founder to British authorities.

Moreno’s itinerary also notably includes a trip to Madrid, where he will meet with Spanish officials still seething over Assange’s denunciation of human rights abuses perpetrated by Spain’s central government against protesters marching for Catalonian independence. Almost three months ago, Ecuador blocked Assange from accessing the internet, and Assange has not been able to communicate with the outside world ever since. The primary factor in Ecuador’s decision to silence him was Spanish anger over Assange’s tweets about Catalonia.

A source close to the Ecuadorian Foreign Ministry and the president’s office, unauthorized to speak publicly, has confirmed to The Intercept that Moreno is close to finalizing, if he has not already finalized, an agreement to hand over Assange to the U.K. within the next several weeks. The withdrawal of asylum and physical ejection of Assange could come as early as this week. On Friday, RT reported that Ecuador was preparing to enter into such an agreement.

The consequences of such an agreement depend in part on the concessions Ecuador extracts in exchange for withdrawing Assange’s asylum. But as former Ecuadorian President Rafael Correa told The Intercept in an interview in May, Moreno’s government has returned Ecuador to a highly “subservient” and “submissive” posture toward Western governments.

Norwegian Police Probe Disappearance of Wikileaks Associate

Norwegian police are investigating the disappearance of Arjen Kamphuis, a cybersecurity expert and Wikileaks associate last seen checking out of a Norwegian hotel two weeks ago. Kamphuis, 47, was meant to fly to Amsterdam after leaving a hotel in Bodo on Aug. 20 but never made it.

Friends say he was planning to take a 10-hour train ride from Bodo to Trondheim to catch the flight, but it’s not clear where along the way he disappeared. The disappearance has triggered a slew of conspiracy theories involving Kamphuis’ connections to Wikileaks founder Julian Assange and the group’s publication of hacked Democratic National Committee emails. But Kamphuis is also reportedly known as an “avid hiker” and describes himself as a “mountaineer” on Twitter, leaving some to believe he may have gotten lost in the wilderness. A Norwegian police spokesman confirmed to Agence France-Presse that an investigation has been opened over the matter but declined to “speculate about what happened to him.”

Julian assange has couped himself up in a 'prison' to escape from prison! :giggling::giggling:

[AbdurRahman.]

Poor julian would have been better off in jail. 7 years of cooped up in embassy has turned him into an old man!

[Altaqwa]

If he was ever any true 'threat' he'd have been locked away years and years and years ago. Does. Not. Compute.

[AbdurRahman.]

Hi heard Wikileaks revealed classified information about who has aids in Saudi Arabia, if that's true then that's very irresponsible of them. They have no business publicising information that would stigmatized others

They publicised information of rape victims and Saudi mental health patients and a man arrested for homosexuality in Saudi; they seemed to be targeting Saudi people a lot:

In the end it finally dawned on me that I had been blinded by propaganda, and that Assange had been systematically slandered to divert attention from the crimes he exposed. Once he had been dehumanized through isolation, ridicule and shame, just like the witches we used to burn at the stake, it was easy to deprive him of his most fundamental rights without provoking public outrage worldwide. And thus, a legal precedent is being set, through the backdoor of our own complacency, which in the future can and will be applied just as well to disclosures by The Guardian, the New York Times and ABC News.

Very well, you may say, but what does slander have to do with torture? Well, this is a slippery slope. What may look like mere «mudslinging» in public debate, quickly becomes “mobbing” when used against the defenseless, and even “persecution” once the State is involved. Now just add purposefulness and severe suffering, and what you get is full-fledged psychological torture.

Yes, living in an Embassy with a cat and a skateboard may seem like a sweet deal when you believe the rest of the lies. But when no one remembers the reason for the hate you endure, when no one even wants to hear the truth, when neither the courts nor the media hold the powerful to account, then your refuge really is but a rubber boat in a shark-pool, and neither your cat nor your skateboard will save your life.

Even so, you may say, why spend so much breath on Assange, when countless others are tortured worldwide? Because this is not only about protecting Assange, but about preventing a precedent likely to seal the fate of Western democracy. For once telling the truth has become a crime, while the powerful enjoy impunity, it will be too late to correct the course. We will have surrendered our voice to censorship and our fate to unrestrained tyranny.

This Op-Ed has been offered for publication to the Guardian, The Times, the Financial Times, the Sydney Morning Herald, the Australian, the Canberra Times, the Telegraph, the New York Times, the Washington Post, Thomson Reuters Foundation, and Newsweek.

None responded positively.
