"The voices of the Continent repudiate, once again, the Intention of the Ecuadorian government to end the Asylum granted to Julian Assange, founder of WikiLeaks. Yesterday, in Mexico, the participants of the XXIII International Seminar "The Parties and a New Society", expressed their strongest condemnation at the attempt to surrender the Founder of WikiLeaks to the Police authorities of the United Kingdom.

At the meeting, attended by 150 Delegates of 38 countries of the 5 continents, a declaration was issued rejecting the surrendering attitude of the Ecuadorian government.

"The participants of the XXIII International Seminar "The Parties and a New Society", organized by the Workers Party in Mexico, manifest their strongest condemnation of such a possible decision. The only crime committed by Julian Assange has been to expose the dubious endeavours of the United States' foreign policies, and more recently, the corruption of President Moreno", says the statement.

The document also mentions that "the vindictive fury of the corrupt occupier of the Carondelet Palace, who has deprived Assange of the most minimal decent living conditions in London, has no limits and seems willing to force him to leave the Ecuadorian Embassy. Thereby, throwing him into the hands of the United States, whom without any legal proof or charges will certainly condemn for life (in prison) or even to death, someone who had the courage to prise secrets of the Empire", said the statement.

In this context and in accordance with its Democratic principles, the due diligence of the Citizen's Revolution and the Social Commitment Movement, reject the attempt by the surrendering attitude of the government of Lenin Moreno to put Assange at risk, and even his life, to ingratiate itself with the hegemonic power. They also recall that Assange cannot be handed over to the justice of a third country."
