5 Reasons Why Ecuador Granted Asylum to Julian Assange
Ecuador has made a pretty clear cut case to back up its support for WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange. The small South American nation of Ecuador may look like it’s punching above its weight by taking on Europe and the U.K. to defend Assange, but its rationale is well grounded in international law.
In August 2012, Ecuador's Foreign Ministry released a document explaining in detail why the government granted Assange asylum, arguing the WikiLeaks founder had been abandoned by his home country and could face political persecution.
