Ecuadorean President Rafael Correa, contrasting Britain’s eagerness to extradite Julian Assange to Sweden to face questioning on charges of sexual misconduct with Britain’s refusal a decade ago to extradite the murder Chilean ex-dictator Augusto Pinochet to stand trial on murder charges.
From MercoPress:
Pinochet was not extradited for humanitarian reasons, when there were dozens of Europeans and thousands of Latin Americans who were murdered, and tens of thousands of people were tortured during the Pinochet dictatorship.
If Pinochet was not extradited for humanitarian reasons then it’s clear that they can take the decision not to extradite Mr. Julian Assange.
