INSIGHT: Mrs Assange Pleads, Por Favor

In the ongoing saga that is Julian Assange holed up in the Ecuadorian embassy in London, now it is the turn of his mother to be pleading his case to the Ecaudorian authorities...and in Quito itself. Christine Assange arrived in the Ecuadorian capital yesterday, knowing only too well that the very life of her beleagured son lies in the balance.



As quoted by CNN (itself one of the biggest instigators in the bought-out establishment media's character assassination of Assange, by the way):

"The mother of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange will meet with Ecuadorian authorities [on] Monday to urge them to grant her son asylum. Christine Assange, who arrived in the capital city Quito on Saturday, told reporters she will appeal to Ecuador's stance on human rights during her meeting. Her son has been holed up inside the Ecuadorian Embassy in London since applying for political asylum on June 19. He is seeking to avoid being sent to Sweden over claims of rape and sexual molestation and said he fears if he is extradited there, Swedish authorities could hand him over to the United States."

She knows only too well what the rest of us also know only too well - Julian Assange simply CANNOT be extradited to Sweden.

According to the state-run El Ciudadano website, and as quoted by CNN, Christine Assange stated how, "Surely, the president and his staff will make the best decision."

One would think that, Ms. Assange, but as this saga enters its sixth week, I'm really not sure about that. It's simply taking too much time...

One can only hope that the pleas of a desperate mother will not fall on deaf ears in Quito.

It's what I am hoping for as this gut-wrenching, slow-churning saga enters its sixth week...

Do you get my point?
