Urgent Petition in Support of Asylum for Julian Assange in Ecuador

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has taken refuge in the Ecuadoran embassy in London and is seeking political asylum.

We, the undersigned, urge the following:

• President Obama – do not pressure or intervene against Ecuador if it chooses to provide asylum to Julian Assange.

• President Correa – many across the Americas strongly support asylum for Julian Assange, who has exposed the truth about dirty wars to the global public. Please grant asylum to Julian Assange. Millions of people will thank Ecuador for this action.

I deplore this petition which seeks to deny justice to the victims of sexual violence in Sweden. Mr Assange has been accused of rape - let us not mince words about this. He is accused of penetrating a woman as she slept which, in most jurisdictions, is sexual intercourse without consent which is rape. Political asylum should not be used as a tool to avoid serious allegations such as that. Your stance is as irresponsible as it is misogynistic.

Julian Assange should face the rape charges.

given the dubious charges based on questionable accounts and victims to begin with...
and the unjustifiable motives and endeavors of an underhanded unfair side of our government...
the above petition is a very deserving one and so worthy of signing!... (as this one has!)...

I think Assange should be assured that he will not end up in the US as a political prisoner.
