The Ecuadoran authorities have expressed certainty that WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange will not be extradited to a country, where tortures and death penalty are practised, the Ecuadoran Foreign Ministry said in a statement issued on Thursday, APA reports citing TASS.
"The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is fully certain that the guarantees provided by the United Kingdom to Ecuador that Assange will not be extradited to a country, where he can face death penalties or be subjected to torture will be fulfilled," the communique published on the Ministry’s official website reads.
The statement was released ahead of the first extended hearing of the Assange extradition to the United States case in London’s Belmarsh Magistrates' Court scheduled for Friday.
