Julian Assange’s days of asylum may be numbered, depending on how Ecuador’s presidential elections go. Guillermo Lasso, a leading candidate in Ecuador’s presidential race, said he would boot the Wikileaks chief out of the Ecuadorian embassy in London if he wins the upcoming presidential elections next week.

Though Lasso is still trailing, he has gained momentum as the most likely candidate to oust Moreno after an initial round of voting on Feb. 19 is expected to lead to a runoff vote. It’s safe to say Assange is following this election closely, too.

Assange is a coward and probably has some exciting insight into the us election at the slightest risk to his liberty.


Or may develop a mystery illness.

 

[Buzzman]

You know, if he hadn't fled to the embassy in the first place he probably would've been free a long time ago.

 

[Knuckle Sandwich]

Go Lasso.

 

[Goose_Se7en]

People from Ecuador eat hamsters right?

 

[jack_package_200]

Guy is a scumbag

 

[Poltergust]

Can't he just flee to the Russian embassy or something?

Not enough.

Somebody would scoop him up and give him to us.

I'd imagine that British police would arrest him before that

 

[AlfonzoPalutena]

I have the lurking feeling that Pamela Anderson is the key to working this all out

Can't he sneak over or something? lol

I can't imagine he is being watched 24/7.

To "us"? As far as I know he isn't facing extradition to the U.S, this is still about the rape case in Sweden.

Guinea Pigs, and they're pretty good.

 

[akira28]

Is Assange even scared anymore since Putin and Trump are in? They weren't the ones screaming for his head.

 

[Wereroku]

No the embassy is being monitored 24/7. The UK has spent a ton of money on it.

 

[GutsOfThor]

Go Lasso!

 

[Ekai]

Lock him up.

 

[Llyranor]

Guinea Pigs, and they're pretty good.

They actually are! Kinda of a mix between quail and rabbit.

 

[Juanfp]

Go Lasso.

Not the best option, but the only one that could beat the current goverment.

 

[obin_gam]

He lost all good will when he made it clear he wanted Trump to win.

Fuck him.

I had an ex bring me some from her town in Colombia which borders Ecuador and shares the cuisine, wasn't fresh but reheated tasted similar to pork.

 

[Generalpsyduck]

So if he gets kicked out does he get extradited to the US or Sweden first?

 

[jack_package_200]

Seeing how only Sweden has a warrant out for his arrest, probably them.

 

[Poltergust]

Welp, gg Assange (hopefully).

 

[Generalpsyduck]

Doesn't the US also have a warrant?

 

[SlickShoesRUCrazy]

He will end up in russia

 

[sangreal]

So if he gets kicked out does he get extradited to the US or Sweden first?

The US has never asked for him. He will be in trouble for skipping bail in the UK first and foremost

 

[Knuckle Sandwich]

To "us"? As far as I know he isn't facing extradition to the U.S, this is still about the rape case in Sweden.

He is afraid of not just facing the rape case but Sweden giving him to the US. Who knows if they would because of what the US would do to him but he seems to think there's a chance.

 

[KHarvey16]

Assange likes to say he'll be extradited to the US to be tortured as an excuse for not standing trial over the rape allegations. It's worth about as much as any excuse uttered by a fugitive from justice.
