Mother of Julian Assange meets with Ecuadoran president

During her meeting with Correa, Assange expressed her “concerns and
qualms about what could happen to Julian Assange if he is extradited to
Sweden by the British government,” Foreign Minister Ricardo Patino told
reporters.

Assange sought refuge at Ecuador’s embassy on June 19, fearing that he could
be extradited to the United States from Sweden to stand trial for espionage,
on account of the trove of leaked US diplomatic cables and military logs
that were published on his whistleblower website.

The leak represented the biggest breach of US intelligence in history.

Patino has said that Ecuador will respond to Assange’s request on August 12,
after the London Olympics.

Mr Correa has often been at odds with Washington and offered Assange asylum in
2010.

He vowed earlier this month that his government would not yield to pressure
from Britain, Sweden or the United States in deciding whether to grant
Assange asylum.
