The article does not mention that WikiLeaks claims the expulsion is punishment for revealing corruption within high levels of the Ecuadorian government. [1]

> "WikiLeaks cited the unidentified person as saying the planned expulsion is a response to the organization’s recent tweet linking to a website that alleged money laundering and corruption during Ecuadorian President Lenin Moreno’s time as United Nations special envoy for the disabled in Geneva."

Note this is the Express - the source of too many articles about planet Niburu coming to destroy the Earth.


Being willing to publish anyone's stories is just like reading dead comments. There are diamonds in the rough - don't miss them.


Nawh, it's definitely Nabiru ;) Thanks for the heads-up.


I would sneak out with fake beard, buy papers and hide in Thailand years ago.


Express == garbage journalism.
