WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange
will appeal to the International Court of Justice if Britain blocks his exit to
Ecuador, renowned Spanish rights lawyer Baltasar Garzon said on Thursday. Garzon,
who is helping Assange’s defence, told Spanish daily El Pais that Britain had a
legal obligation to allow his client to leave the country once Ecuador granted
him diplomatic asylum. The
UK says Wikileaks founder Julian Assange will not be given safe passage out of
the country from
his London refuge, after Ecuador grants him political asylum.
