Julian Assange sues over 'inhuman' conditions, 'denigrating' cat obligations in Ecuadorean embassy

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has filed a lawsuit in Ecuador against new terms of asylum in the Andean country's London embassy that require him to pay for medical bills and phone calls and clean up after his pet cat, his lawyer says.

Key points:

Assange's lawyer says his internet was cut off in March and he is being held in "inhuman conditions"
Ecuadorean President Lenin Moreno is reluctant to force Mr Assange out
The Australian fears he will be handed over to the US if he leaves

Ecuador this month created the new protocol governing the Australian's stay at the embassy.
Lawyer Baltasar Garzon told a press conference in Ecuador's capital Quito that the rules were drawn up without consulting Mr Assange, who is now suing Foreign Minister Jose Valencia in a Quito court to have them changed.

Mr Assange has not had access to the internet since it was cut off in March, Mr Garzon added, despite a WikiLeaks statement this week that it had been restored.

"He has been held in inhuman conditions for more than six years," Mr Garzon said.

"Even people who are imprisoned have phone calls paid for by the state," he added, describing the obligations regarding the cat as "denigrating."

I used to have a bit of time for this guy, but recently he's proving himself to be a complete twat.

I would imagine 6 years in a room with a cat would lead to some profound mental readjustments - to be polite

Indeed! Beggars can't be choosers, and if I was a guest anywhere, espeically one to whom I was highly beholden, I'd be going out of my way to do everything possible to make my stay less a burden on my host. Cleaning up after my own cat and paying for phone calls would be givens, naturally.

Toxoplasmosis affects the brain and is caught from cats (crazy cat lady syndrome has a very real cause).

Ungrateful wanker.

Seems a good time to request him to vacate.

This sort of behaviour might indeed trigger an eviction of the ingrate.
He's no fool, so perhaps he's playing a game of chess here.

Upon eviction he becomes 'involuntarily homeless', so the council is under obligation to rehouse him....sorry, not much of a chess player.

I expect there's a copper parked around there somewhere.

There was always one up the road from Finsbury Park mosque trying to look like he was undercover and doing a shit job of it. We always used to wave good morning to him.

send him to Gitmo for being a complete wanker
