Julian Assange Says He's Suing Ecuador for 'Violating His Fundamental Rights'
Julian Assange announced on Friday that he was suing the Ecuadorean government for "violating his fundamental rights," claiming that his longtime hosts at the country's embassy in London are limiting his contact with the outside world and censoring his speech.
His legal team in the matter, led by the former Spanish judge Baltasar Garzón, revealed the suit at a news conference in Quito, where the lawsuit was filed. The action aims to prevent strict new rules governing Mr. Assange's visitors and online activity from taking effect.
The policies were laid out in a nine-page memo that was published by a news site this month. (They include directives to clean his bathroom and look after his cat.)

He is not ungrateful. He is merely asserting his rights to things to which he is entitled.
How dare that ungrateful Ecuador not give him everything he wishes!
After all Julian is gracing them with the fame and notoriety of his presence in their embassy. Why shouldn't they at least show some gratitude?
The Saudis were alleged to have the capability to smuggle someone from their embassy in multiple briefcases without that person being arrested.
