| Subject: Statist extortion: Assange backers ordered to pay up Tue Oct 09, 2012 4:48 am | |
| Backers who stood as sureties for the WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange before he took refuge in the Ecuadorian Embassy in London have been ordered to pay thousands of pounds. Chief Magistrate Howard Riddle said the nine had to pay £93,500 ($150,000) by November 6.
Australian-born Assange has been in Ecuador's London embassy since June as part of his bid to avoid extradition to Sweden. He fears being sent to the United States to face interrogation over the whistle-blowing website if he travels to Sweden.
He has been granted political asylum by Ecuador but faces arrest if he leaves the embassy after breaking bail conditions.
Vaughan Smith, a friend who put Assange up at his country mansion for more than a year, addressed Westminster Magistrates Court last week on behalf of the nine, who put up £140,000 between them. The Australian journalist Phillip Knightley, who put up £15,000, was one of the nine.
