Quantos meses (ou anos) de "asilo" em embaixada...

O Equador, talvez "mal acostumado" com a prática de asilo diplomático em países tão instáveis e conturbados quanto os latino-americanos, acredita que o Reino Unido tem a obrigação de dar um salvo conduto a um extraditando, qualquer que seja este.

Foreign Secretary statement on Ecuadorian Government’s decision to offer political asylum to Julian Assange

16 August 2012

“Under our law, with Mr Assange having exhausted all options of appeal, the British authorities are under a binding obligation to extradite him to Sweden.

It is far from a universally accepted concept: the United Kingdom is not a party to any legal instruments which require us to recognise the grant of diplomatic asylum by a foreign embassy in this country. Moreover, it is well established that, even for those countries which do recognise diplomatic asylum, it should not be used for the purposes of escaping the regular processes of the courts. And in this case that is clearly what is happening."
