Ecuadorians protest outside British Embassy in Quito against threats to raid EC Embassy in London and arrest Assange.Source: Reuters Wednesday 15 August 2012 21:25A group of Ecuadorians gathered Wednesday outside the British Embassy in Quito with the goal of rejecting the "threat" of the British Government to enter the embassy of Ecuador in London to arrest the founder of Wikileaks, Julian Assange , who has sought asylum in the Andean country.The demonstrators, about forty, were posted in a place that is in front of the building where the embassy, ​​located in an exclusive shopping center in town."This is not monarchy, exercise sovereignty" and "we are sovereign, not a colony," were some of the cries of activists, mostly young.One protester even tried to take the British flag from a pole located in the square, but police prevented to do so.The police used pepper spray to remove activists from the square to an avenue, where they continued with their protest.Among the protesters was Assemblyman Alianza PAIS, Paco Velasco, who said other protests will be replicated in the coming days, but gave no details.To Velasco, the "threat" revealed today by the Ecuadorian Foreign Minister Ricardo Patiño, is the British Government's intention to "break the principles" of international law and the constitution of Ecuador."We reject this barbarity of the British government" because "any court order can not go against fundamental principles of respect for the territory of another country, a sovereign territory," said the legislator.On behalf of a European arrest warrant can not be "breaking the principles" and go against "the greater good is the life of Mr. Assange" said Velasco and said he was confident that Ecuador will grant asylum to the founder of Wikileaks."Mr. Assange has not made weapons of mass destruction, there is a potential criminal, not a danger to humanity" and therefore "there is no reason for the threat," he added.To Velasco, Assange powers pursue him for leaking "information about how international diplomacy works, American diplomacy.""Ecuador is to mobilize whole" because "can not allow this threat," said the legislator, by insisting that there will be new demonstrations to reject the British attitude.the link: http://translate.google.com/translate?sl=auto&tl=en&js=n&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&layout=2&eotf=1&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ecuavisa.com%2Findex.php%3Foption%3Dcom_content%26view%3Darticle%26id%3D53568%26catid%3D79%26Itemid%3D336
