“El Gobierno de Lenín Moreno ha dado un paso más en su ofensiva contra Julian Assange. La Fiscalía General del Estado de Ecuador ha acordado registrar una de las estancias de la embajada de ese país en Londres, en la que el ciberactivista ha residido durante los últimos siete años, y entregar a EE UU todos sus documentos, teléfonos móviles, archivos informáticos, ordenadores, unidades de memoria, CD y cualquier otro dispositivo, según señala una notificación oficial a la que ha tenido acceso EL PAÍS.”
