WASHINGTON - Ecuador said Monday that it was not unfairly targeting WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange when it revoked his asylum last week. Ecuadorian Foreign Minister José Valencia said Assange’s behaviour was “undeserving, disrespectful” and he pointed to a video published by the newspaper El País. The short video with no audio appears to show Assange arguing with an official inside the Ecuadorian embassy in London. Ecuadorean Foreign Minister Jose Valencia speaks during an interview with The Associated Press at the residence of the ambassador of Ecuador to the U.S. in Washington, Monday April 15, 2019. Jennifer Robinson, a lawyer representing Assange, has alleged that Ecuador’s government spread lies about his behaviour at its embassy.
