As mentioned earlier The Cameron government has threatened to storm Ecuadorean Embassy and kidnap Julian Assange, claiming the right to revoke diplomatic status of entire embassy. http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2012/aug/16/julian-assange-ecuador-embassy-asylum
Someone as a stunt should contact a Chinese Ambassador and remind him or her of the case of Chen Guangcheng who took refuge in the U.S. embassy back April of this year. Ask him if the UK revokes the diplomatic status of the Ecuadorean Embassy and storms it to recover someone wanted in London if China will find it an interesting precedent to consider next time someone takes Refuge in a U.S. or UK Embassy in China. Also some enterprizing reporter should contact Chen Guangcheng himself who is currently studying in NY university and get his opinion on this. I'd do it myself, but I think it deserves a wider audience than my 75 twitter followers. In addition someone might contact the Cuban government. I believe there are some wanted Cubans who have been living in the French or Spanish Embassy for years. If the UK does this someone might ask the Cuban government if they would consider a law similar to the UK one, and consider following the UK precedent in excecuting it. -- Facebook: Gar Lipow Twitter: GarLipow Solving the Climate Crisis web page: SolvingTheClimateCrisis.com Grist Blog: http://grist.org/author/gar-lipow/ Online technical reference: http://www.nohairshirts.com
