Ecuador's president tells the WikiLeaks founder not to intervene in politics

Quito, May 30: Ecuador's President Lenin Moreno urged WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange not to interfere in domestic politics. Assange was taken to London by Ecuador embassy, where he sought refuge in 2012. Xinhua news agency reported. "He should respect the situation where he does not interfere in Ecuador's politics and interfere in the politics of friendly nations," Moreno said here today.
Moreno, who took over as President on May 24, responded after Assange last week tweeted that "Ecuadorians can feel confident that, if WikiLeaks obtains proof of corruption in Ecuador, it will publish them". The asylum was granted to Assange by Ecuador's former President Rafael Correa as the WikiLeaks founder faced potential extradition to the US, and Moreno stated he would maintain the same policy. "Ecuador is extremely respectful... with the lives of human beings. That is why it granted him asylum in its embassy," said Moreno.
After WikiLeaks publishes thousands of secret American papers in 2010, America is attempting to attempt Assange for espionage. He also asked Sweden on allegations of sexual assault, but the Swedish prosecutor General left the case on May 19.
