Permalink Ecuador might transfer Assange to Sweden

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange could be transferred to the Ecuadorian embassy in Sweden in order to respond to sex crime allegations that he faces there. - Ecuador, which had granted the whistleblower political asylum, may ask Britain to transfer him under its protection, Ecuadorian Minister Ricardo Patino indicated on Friday. Patino told reporters that among different possibilities to end the stalemate over Assange’s case was "that his statement be taken in our embassy in London or that Ecuador get authorization to transfer him, if necessary, to our embassy in Sweden so that the case can proceed there with the protection of Ecuador and meeting the needs of Swedish justice." To date there has been no reaction from London. As for Sweden, its foreign ministry said it would not comment as they had not received any approach from Quito, AFP reports. The WikiLeaks founder has been holed up in the Ecuadorian embassy in the British capital since June 19, as the UK authorities are trying to extradite him to Sweden where he is wanted for questioning over sex crime allegations. Citing fears that he could be further extradited to the US to face charges over the release of thousands of sensitive US documents, Ecuadorian President Rafael Correa decided to grant Assange political asylum.

In Quebec It's Official: Mass Movement Leads to Victory for Students: '...newly elected Premier Pauline Marois announced that the government was cancelling the proposed tuition hike that led to the student uprising and nullifying the contentious Bill 78 law.' - After a year of revolt which became known as the "Maple Spring"—including massive street protests that received global attention—university students across Quebec were celebrating victory on Thursday night following the announcement from newly elected Premier Pauline Marois that the government was cancelling the proposed tuition hike that led to the student uprising and nullifying the contentious Bill 78 law which was introduced to curb the powerful protests.

“It’s a total victory!” said Martine Desjardins, president of the Fédération étudiante universitaire du Québec, which is the largest student association with about 125,000 students. “It’s a new era of collaboration instead of confrontation.” “Together we’ve written a chapter in the history of Quebec,” she added. “It’s a triumph of justice and equity.”

There have been so many anti-terrorism laws passed since 9/11 that it is hard to keep up on what kinds of things might get one on a “list” of suspected bad guys. We’ve prepared this quick checklist so you can see if you might be doing something which might get hassled. Many Americans assume that only “bad people” have to worry about draconian anti-terror laws. But as the above lists show, this isn’t true. When even Supreme Court Justices and congressmen worry that we are drifting into dictatorship, we should all be concerned.

This video is dedicated to the long-suffering Palestinians and Iranians who have been sidelined by the United Nations in favour of the Nuclear Apartheid State of Zionist Israel in the most blatant exercise in International Double Standards that our world has ever known. The video demonstrates that the United States is not a democracy, it is a bribeocracy, largely controlled by Zionists. But citizens of other nations need not be complacent, for there is much evidence to suggest that the same pressures are being brought to bear on their politicians and officials to support Israel’s excesses, and an Internet search will reveal that the first ever European Jewish Parliament held its inaugural meeting early in February, 2012; something that the mainstream media seemed reluctant to publicise.
