    Assaulting an embassy is what failed states and jihadists do. Someone get the Queen on the phone.

    Urgh, somebody rape that douchelord allready :) Tired of his posturing and parasiting the clueless UK jetset homes and embassies, this guy is a professional couchsurfer and misogynist poser IMHO

    apparently several taxi firms have fallen for the *hilarious* gag of picking up Julian Assange from Ecuador's embassy

    So England has to respect the laws of one country (Sweden) but not those of another Ecuador? Sounds to me like some laws are more "righter" then the others or rather the laws are followed selectively depending on the feeling of the ones in power.

    • Which means laws are just texts created to intimidate the masses by the ones in power. Which makes the laws inconsequential.– pr21/3

      The UK is signed up to the European extradition law. It's not Swedish.– ribit3/3

    Are there "freedom fighters" in Ecuador so CIA can sponsor them to topple that "regime"?

    I don't think it will end well, Britain will be the laughing stock of the world if he gets away. Too much at stake for them.

    Can we not just extradite David Cameron and the rest of the Tories instead.
    It would probably do a lot more good.

    the police surely can't go into the ecuadorean embassy - it'd make it open season for all nutters on british embassies worldwide. who gives a shit about that little prick, anyway? if the swedes want him let them sort the mess out. we should stay out of it

    UK gov can revoke diplomatic immunity and go in to the embassy.

    While that is highly unlikely, Ecuador is simply using him as some sort of a bargaining chip. Ecuador as a country does not have any leverage with pretty much any modern nation.

    UK also does not want to set an example of any internationally warranted criminal to escape in to an embassy.

    At the end, he will be holed up there indefinitely until the following:
    - When Ecuador has no longer a use for him (economic package from UK or some sort)
    - Kills him self
    - Some sort of deal in promise that he won't be harmed in Sweden

    The thing to me is that he is a perfect candidate for becoming immortal yet he chooses not to do that. Anything happening to him in Sweden will bring more attention to his cause. I feel as though, much like few of his supporters have said, he is in for him self and him self only.

    • Sweden is a patsy in this, they just want to extradite him to the US.– i_monk

    Raiding the embassy would violate the Vienna Convention and essentially tell the world that British embassies are fair game.

    I shouldn't' have said criminal as he is not even really charged. He is merely asked to appear for questioning.

    He screwed up. He should have returned and made the questioning / trial as a circus.

    Any country can revoke the status and kick the diplomats out or arrest them. That is up the host country.

    US intervention in Sweden is a conspiracy theory. No truth about that what so ever.

    • Not exactly...revoking the status has never been done. It would be a pretty extreme action.– ukit21/2
      "No truth about that what so ever."

      That's a bold statement.      – sikma2/2

    He is afraid of going to Sweden because they have harsh imprisonment that don't allow communication with the outside world. In the past they have renditioned terrorism suspects on America's behalf without telling anyone. And the U.S. has basically declared him as a terrorist.

    • Sweden did alot of dirty work for CIA. The US wants him ultimately not Sweden.– TheBlueOne

    "Could he be smuggled out – or placed in a crate or bag that has diplomatic protection?

    As far-fetched as this sounds, it has been tried before in the UK.

    In 1984 an attempt was made to abduct a Nigerian politician, Umaru Dikko, from Britain by placing him in a crate and attempting to ship him back to Nigeria. Those involved tried, but failed, to label the crate correctly as a diplomatic package or bag.

    The Vienna Convention says: "The diplomatic bag shall not be opened or detained."

    But such a package is not immune from scanning, or from thermal imaging, which would pick up body heat from inside any such package. In such circumstances, UK authorities may be entitled to open the package and seize the concealed Assange."

    http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/…

    • How is scanning-and-opening not the same as opening? The result is the same.– i_monk
