Ecuador strips Assange of citizenship citing 'multiple inconsistencies' in original application
ECUADOR has stripped Wikileaks founder Julian Assange of his citizenship citing “multiple inconsistencies” in his original application, including unpaid fees and alteration of documents.
The decision was made by an Ecuadorian court on Monday following a claim by the country’s foreign ministry.
Mr Assange was notified of the decision in a formal letter today.
His lawyer Carlos Poveda said the decision had been made without due process and that Mr Assange, who is currently in Britain’s Belmarsh prison, was not able to attend the hearing.
“On the date [Assange] was cited he was deprived of his liberty and with a health crisis,” Mr Poveda said.
