WikiLeaks Founder Offered Residency in
Ecuador
Julian Assange, founder of the whistle-blowing website WikiLeaks, has been offered residency by officials in the South American nation of Ecuador. The nation's Deputy Foreign Minister, Kintto Lucas, extended the offer and said that Assange would be allowed to speak freely in his country. Lucas also noted that Ecuador was concerned about a number of the alleged American activities revealed by the site. Assange, who was born in Australia, was denied residency in Sweden earlier this year.
"We are open to giving him residency in Ecuador, without any problem and without any conditions," Mr Lucas said.
"We are going to try and invite him to Ecuador to freely present, not only via the internet, but also through different public forums, the information and documentation that he has," he said.
Lucas added: "We think it would be important not only to converse with him but also to listen to him."
WikiLeaks claims to be in possession of more than 1,600 cables that originated from the US embassy in Quito, the capital of Ecuador, the contents of which have yet to be disclosed. Lucas says the nation is very concerned over allegations the US spied on friendly governments. He said that the offer to Assange would not impact US-Ecuador relations.
Authorities in Assange's homeland of Australia, meanwhile, are attempting to determine if the man had broken any of its laws.
