Hypocrisy: The British say they have to extradite Assange, but they guarded the dictator

Great Britain would commit diplomatic suicide if it tried to arrest the founder of WikiLeaks, Julian Assange, by breaking into the Ecuadorian embassy in London, Ecuadorian leader Rafael Correa said.

"Until Great Britain retracts (the threat) or apologizes, the danger remains," Correa told Ecuador's state television.

Korea says that entering the embassy would set a precedent and that then others could enter British embassies around the world, and London should not react, reports the BBC.

It is not known what could be Britain's next diplomatic step in the Assange case, but Korea has announced that it could transfer the case to the United Nations.

"Don't forget that David defeated Goliath. And with many Davids, it is easier to bring down a few Goliaths," Correa vividly stated and added that Ecuador hopes for "clear and coherent support."

London's move violates all laws among American states, all international law, the Vienna Convention and all diplomatic traditions, at least those of the last 300 years at the global level, said Correa.

"The British claim that they have no choice but to extradite Assange. Then why didn't they extradite Augusto Pinochet at the same time?" Correa asked, pointing to British hypocrisy. Hundreds of Ecuadorian citizens demonstrated yesterday on the streets of the capital, Quito, to support the government's decision to grant asylum. to the founder of WikiLeaks, Assange. Assange fears that he could be extradited to the US, where he could be tried for espionage for disclosing, on the WikiLeaks website, classified State Department cables.
