Ecuadorean Ex-President Criticizes Successor for Allowing Assange to Be Arrested
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Julian Assange was arrested shortly after the Ecuadorean government
withdrew his asylum. Former Ecuadorean President Rafael Correa
criticized Ecuador's current president, Lenín Moreno, for what happened.
Correa wrote, "The greatest traitor in Ecuadorian and Latin American
history, Lenin Moreno, allowed the British police to enter our embassy
in London to arrest Assange. Moreno is a corrupt man, but what he has
done is a crime that humanity will never forget."
