British police are to arrest Julian Assange "under any circumstances" if he attempts to flee the Ecuadorian embassy. The secret police documents revealing the order, were found in plain view outside the embassy, in the arms of London's...finest.
When Lewis Whyld of the Press Association snapped a photo of a few officers standing on the steps outside of the Knightsbridge embassy on Friday, he had no idea that Assange's fate was literally in one of the officer's hands.
The handwritten tactical brief, scrawled in barely legible scribble and partially obscured by the officer's arm, says that however Assange leaves the embassy - be it in a diplomatic car, container or bag - he should be arrested.
Brief - EQ. Embassy Brief Summary of current position Re: Assange. Action required Assange to be arrested under all circumstances. He comes out with dip immune [diplomatic immunity] as dip bag in dip bag in dip vehicle ARRESTED. Discuss possibilities of distraction SS10 to liaise...provide additional support," the visible portion of the "restricted" official document reads.
Despite diplomatic bags, containers and vehicles legally holding the same status as embassies, the document seems to entail that MET police would violate that immunity to seize Assange in the event of an escape.
The officers also appear to be prepared for any smokescreen allowing Assange to slip out of the embassy as the documents implores the officers to be vigilant for "the possibility of distraction."
Comment: Sarkozy would be proud of Hollande leading France into illegal wars of aggression.
