With all the media concentrating on Julian Assange and the role of Ecuador in offering him Political Asylum, you maybe interested to know that Ecuador is involved in a similar case of political asylum but taking a different stance. Aliaksandr Barankov has allegedly revealed evidence of corruption at the highest level but the Belarus authorities are accusing him of fraud which he says are bogus charges. Originally, he was granted political asylum but he has now been arrested and it is very likely that he will be sent back to Belarus where campaigners fear he may be unfairly tried and possibly given the death penalty. Below is a report from the Guardian and a link to the Government of Ecuador should you wish to write something.
