Assange's mom seeks Ecuador's help

The mother of Wikileaks founder Julian Assange arrived in Ecuador on Saturday for talks with top government officials after her son had found refuge in the Ecuadoran embassy in London, a government website reported.
Christine Assange "is visiting Ecuador in order to protect the life of her son," said the site El Ciudadano.
Ecuadoran Foreign Minister Ricardo Patino is due to meet with Christine Assange today to discuss her son's application for asylum in the Latin American nation, the foreign ministry said.
