Breaking: Ecuador To Take UK To International Criminal Court

go ecuador... kick this as##ole... english gov in bed with US trying to bully small country

Isn't it amazing when a powerless little country has the courage to stand up against the "Big Boys" and fight for what is right?

Bravo!

Can some one please explain what exactly is being protected here?

Chuckle. Britain is just a lapdog for Israel and the United States. They grant diplomatic immunity to any Israeli criminal who asks:

A United Kingdom court two months ago deferred until further notice an appeal by local pro-Palestinian groups to issue an arrest warrant against Barak, who was visiting the country at the time.

A similar appeal was issued in 2004 against Israel's then defense minister, Shaul Mofaz. At the time, Mofaz was granted immunity from international arrest and trial - a precedent set by the British court, which until then had given such protection only to foreign ministers or premiers.

They hate us for our freedom. Lets roll.

True dat. For every 10 embarrassing cables released, there was the odd one that was blatantly designed to serve American foreign policy...like the one that said Iraq had WMD or the one labeling Russia a 'Mafia State'.

Was listening to discussion on this this morning and was said that transportation as in vehicle is the same as the embassy building and should not be violated.

Makes sense as otherwise, any country could just lay seige to any embassy defeating the purpose of immunity totally.

Were u listening to All things considered?

Everything!!

This is another brick in the global wall of freedom that the USA, UK, NATO and other countries / governments and high echelon are dismantling piece by piece, until in a few years we will be living in 1984, no shit.

Whether you like Mr. Assange or not, you should realize that its people like him and organizations like WikiLeaks that are helping to show the World that there is still hope... by extinguishing this flame, its another step closer to the restrictive, suffocating lack of freedom to live doom, that many of us fear so much.

Freedom is a right we are all born with (or should be), but if things carry on much further that will not be the case any more.

BIG TALKING POMMY.

You won;t even hand over that Hamza guy - m0slem cleric terr0rist to the US.

ahahahah!

dude, get a reality check.

Your shithole country is now ruled by muslims and they'll try to ruin UK's credibility with this opportunity.

get a grip.

or get a beer and go smack your wife's rotten teeths - your choice.

He may have leaked information but he did it for the general population so they would realize the truth. He didn't rape those women and the charges didn't happen until after the leak. Those women were agents. They want him dead and will do anything for that to happen.

This guy had the guts to challenge and leak the plans of the most powerful - bless him. Aren't you tired of being played for a fool by these idiots who think we are dumb struck and they can do anything to f--- us over.I just wish more would understand that his actions are for the greater good of all mankind.

Doesn't matter what they do. The ICC is pretty toothless even against people like Assad, so against the UK, who haven't killed anyone (in this case at least...)? The foreign office have already said they wont be entering the embassy anyway.

OMG THIS^

^^ The only thing I ever see come out of Wikilieaks is this ^^

WikiLeaks: 622 days of banking blockade - no process
Assange: 619 days detainment - no charge
Manning: 816 days in jail - no trial
Grand Jury: 702 days US secret Grand Jury into WikiLeaks - no transparency

Embassy cars ARE IN FACT (and legally) the same as embassy soil.

Same thing for embassy "transportation" - which means, airplanes.

That's why the UK must allow Mr Assange to leave - IF the Equador embassy wants to take him somewhere.

That's what international LAWS say - and if the UK wants to avoid turn into a criminal state, they must comply with these laws.

There.

I think your missing the point somewhat, it's not just about the information they are / have already released... it's also about what they stand for and are trying to achieve.

// WildStyle

No... Not missing the point at all. Show me where their acts has ever created good for all humanity.. It only helps the criminals create a bigger buffer zone between them and us. It's obvious this wikileaks is just a setup by TPTB or they just suck at what their trying to accomplish. Like with any other organization... The more you try to expose the corrupted governments the more fuel you give them to break us down.

^^^^
THIS LOL

Who the hell does the UK think they are?

Fuck England.

British leaders have already made clear that they intend to become international criminals themselves:

Don Rothwell, Professor of International Law at the ANU, told ABC 720 the threat to raid the embassy is very surprising.

"Under international law the Ecuadorian embassy in London enjoys protections under the Vienna convention on diplomatic relations. Under those conventions the UK authorities are not permitted to enter without invitation," Professor Rothwell said.

"The UK government has effectively indicated to Ecuador that if the matter isn't resolved to their satisfaction they are reserving the right to unilaterally enter the embassy and presumably arrest Mr Assange."

Exactly. It's international law and the Brits have to respect it. I wonder what they are afraid of.

True.

'breaking you down' is not acceptable

Here is the British letter expressing the intention to violate international law:

[link to www.independent.co.uk]

Mr Patino released a letter he said had been sent to the Ecuadorian government in the capital, Quito, by a British embassy official. It read: "You need to be aware that there is a legal base in the UK, the Diplomatic and Consular Premises Act 1987, that would allow us to take actions in order to arrest Mr Assange in the current premises of the Embassy. We sincerely hope that we do not reach that point, but if you are not capable of resolving this matter of Mr Assange's presence in your premises, this is an open option for us... "

Britain admits to sending the threat:

And the Foreign Secretary confirmed he had authorised the communications with Ecuador, including the highlighting of British laws which allow the suspension of normal embassy rules, potentially allowing the police to enter the building and arrest Mr Assange.

In contrast, even the old Soviet Union respected the sanctity of the American embassy harboring Cardinal Mindszenty:

[link to en.wikipedia.org]
---
When the Soviet Union invaded Hungary on 4 November 1956, to restore the overthrown communist government, Cardinal Mindszenty sought Imre Nagy's advice, and was granted political asylum at the United States embassy in Budapest. Mindszenty lived there for the next 15 years, unable to leave the grounds.

and what did he leak ? seriously... he leaked nothing interesting...

The truth about the SETUP they created to blame Assange of "rape":

Governments of the world want this guy more than Bin Laden and Nazi war criminals. It's kind of amusing to see how mad they're all getting.
