I am not surprised. What about Sweden, England and the US? Are we to be targeted next by his internet army?

it requires to protect itself from pissed off hackers. I hope some of the people are caught and prosecuted. Most Ecuadorians have nothing to do with Assange or any of the decisions regarding his stay in their embassy.

And soon he'll have trump speaking out against his arrest , or suggesting having all charges dropped for him. They want to keep his mouth shut, and look for them to do things threatening him if he speaks out .
