Quito (Ecuador), Nov. 30: If Wikileaks founder Mr Julian Assange, 39, needs a home, Ecuador’s deputy foreign minister, Mr Kintto Lucas, says his nation will provide one.
The Australian, who has incensed Washington with the release of diplomatic cables, had sought residency and a work permit in Sweden. But after the release of sensitive documents from Iraq and Afghan wars, by Wikileaks, a Swedish court ordered him detained for questioning on sexual assault allegations, which Mr Assange calls are part of a smear campaign.
