Ecuador will give Washington computers and Assange documents in London
The Attorney General of the State of Ecuador has agreed to register one of the stays of the legation in which the founder of Wikileaks spent almost seven years
The Government of Lenin Moreno has taken another step in his offensive against Julian Assange. The Attorney General of the State of Ecuador has agreed to register one of the stays of the embassy of that country in London, in which the cyber-activist has resided during the last seven years, and to deliver to the US all his documents, mobile phones, computer files , computers, memory units, CDs and any other device, as indicated by an official notification to which EL PAÍS has had access.
The United States demands the extradition of Assange to the United Kingdom. A US court asks to judge the founder of Wikileaks, whom he accuses of a crime of computer intrusion punishable by up to five years in prison. In 2010, the Australian website leaked to the media 450,000 secret documents from thousands of internal US communications about the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. The activist was arrested on April 11 at the diplomatic headquarters of Ecuador and handed over to the British authorities.
Julian Assange, 47, enjoyed the protection and support of the Ecuadorian Government during the time of President Rafael Correa. He was granted political asylum and was allowed to take refuge in his diplomatic legation in London after exhausting all judicial instances before which he appealed the decision to be extradited to Sweden. The justice of that country demanded it before the British authorities so that it responded to the accusation of two crimes against the sexual freedom.
The change of Government in Ecuador and the rapprochement of that country to the US with Lenin Moreno has changed everything. The current president has broken the legacy of his predecessor. He started by establishing a hard protocol of visits and living conditions of the activist in the embassy allowed his detention on the 11th and now agrees to the registration of the Wikileaks founder’s room and the delivery to the USA of all the computer material of the person to which Ecuador granted the status of asylee.
Baltasar Garzón, Assange’s lawyer, describes the delivery to the US of the defendant’s belongings of “absolute violation of Ecuador’s asylum institution.” “It is incomprehensible that the country of protection now takes advantage of the privileged position of having received it to remit its belongings to the country that is pursuing it, which will have been intervened without a judicial order, without protection of the rights of the asylee, without respect for the chain of custody. “said Garzón. “What is aggravated by the illicit recording mechanism that was deployed in the embassy and that has been denounced The systematic violation of Assange’s rights is overcoming the limits of the imaginable,” he said.
The judicial cooperation of the current executive of Ecuador with the United States began months ago. The Ecuadorian justice allowed the North American authorities to take a statement to the diplomatic staff of its embassy in London. In the framework of this collaboration, Assange’s lawyers do not rule out that recordings, audios and documents stolen from the activist and one of his lawyers in a supposed espionage operation have been sent to the US to provide information to the United States about his defense. Assange recently filed a complaint in the National Court against a Spanish journalist and four computer programmersfor alleged extortion when trying to sell for three million euros hundreds of videos and documents of his last years in the embassy. The UN Special Rapporteur for Privacy also studies this alleged espionage.
Aitor Martínez, one of the lawyers of the Australian activist’s team, affirms that the initiative of Ecuador is “a manifest and radical violation of the right to defense, since in those documents and electronic devices are all communications with their lawyers and their legal documentation. A privileged material that will allow the US to build and create new charges for its request for extradition. “
The founder of Wilileaks has formally denied before a London court his consent to the request for extradition from the United States. Assange appeared by videoconference from prison before the Court of Magistrates of Westminster, where the process began on day 2. Days before, another British court sentenced him to 50 weeks in prison for having violated in 2012 the conditions of conditional release that had been imposed.
