[quote:DevilsAdvocateToday:MV8yMjcyNzcwXzM4NjQzNDc4XzdEMzVFNzc=] [quote:Beachbums:MV8yMjcyNzcwXzM4NjQzMzM2XzgxNDhBMEYx] Umm, Sorry to burst your bubble.... I LIVE in Ecuador,it is a beautiful country, but not awesome, pollution is terrible, with high crime in the cities, but foreigners do not know this because they DON'T REPORT IT- and if the theft is for less than $599 US, they do NOT arrest the felon- no jail time! People that murder only spend 7 years in jail if convicted of the murder, if you can pay off a Judge, no jail, no conviction! Guns are outlawed, so only the robbers have guns. Bandits go into restaurants and rob EVERYBODY's phones, cash jewelry, etc. Cops in the cities pull over Buses, and trucks, and Gringos to get lunch money.....people are generally friendly to Americans, but anti-American sentiment is growing. Cost of living is lower than the US, having an average income of $350 per month, some people live cheaply, but Americans are going to need $1500-$2000 a month minimum to live comfortably. Cuenca is nice, but home-invasion robberies on the rise. It is still 3rd world..... [/quote] I LOVE it when someone that lives in one of these areas tell us how it [i]really[/i] is! We tend to get the grandiose visions of how great it must be in these other lands/countries and that it [b]has[/b] to be better than where we are sitting or living. The grass is not always greener folks. They just have different problems. [/quote]
Original Message
Citing their help with Julian Assange, Snowden asks the Government of Ecuador for help.
"Ecuador acts on the declaration of international law and human rights above other interests and pressures.
"The government of Ecuador guarantees the anonymity and safety of reporters and their sources."
"The right of refugee and asylum is recognized, but there are also some international rules that have to be considered."
