lpv:translated text	"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, the responses concerning Mr Assange’s case and his imprisonment on account of his ideas of freedom are reminiscent of those of Pontius Pilate. I would like us to consider three points: 1. This is a case of because the accusations are very weak; 2. the United States is putting pressure on a European country to extradite, even though it has not yet specified the legal grounds for this request; 3. a citizen’s European bank accounts have been closed, meaning that he cannot receive any financial assistance in Europe from his supporters. What is more, all the statistics confirm that the European public is in favour of these principles of freedom, that it wants Internet freedom, that it is in favour of freedom, despite the doubts and the problems that have emerged in the wake of this initiative, which I personally do not fully support. Nevertheless, we would like President Barroso to state what the limits are and what the protection of human rights and of freedom of expression is really and truly founded on. Are we looking at a virtual Guantánamo here? Are we facing the threat of an Orwellian total censorship of the Internet? That is the danger, and we need answers on this matter. It is also important to keep a check on Mr Assange’s prison conditions, because in Italy, not even Mafia members are held in complete isolation."@en1
