In reply to the discussion: Meanwhile, Ecuador prepares to extradite a blogger it offered asylum in 2008. [View all]sabrina 1
(62,325 posts)deal made with Belarus? If Sweden is willing to guarantee that they will not turn Assange over to the US, Ecuador stated yesterday that they want to make a deal with Sweden as doing so would 'end all of this'.
If Belarus has agreed to conditions laid down by Ecuador, then I see nothing different than what they are doing with Assange.
But it's hard to find anything other than on Lucianne.com and other 'gotcha' rightwing sites about this story.
The thing to do, assuming people really care about this man, is to call the Ecuadoran Embassy and express those concerns.
Of course if he is just being used by anti-Assange people, which appears to be the case going by where this story is being reported almost with delight, which I find abhorrent frankly then I doubt there will be too many calls from them.
If there is no deal and Ecuador is simply handing him over, they need to hear from the public, for the sake of this blogger. Not much to be accomplished on his behalf by using his plight to play 'gotcha'.
For those concerned about the blogger you can contact the Ecuadoran Embassy here:

Sending an email and will call also. I'm surprised that no one in the US media or those right wing blogs reporting this story appear to have done this, well no, I am not actually. He makes a good political tool which appears to be all they care about. We called for Assange, I think people should call for him also.
