‘Room went black, she was gone’: Canadian forced adoption mum tells RT how her baby was taken

Published time: 30 Jul, 2018 10:14

One of the hundreds of thousands of unwed mothers forced by the Canadian government to surrender their babies after WWII has told RT she thought she would never see her daughter again.

Over 300,000 mothers are believed to have been impacted by Canada’s draconian adoption laws between the 1940s and 1970s. They saw unwed women being forced to give their babies up for adoption to traditional families. Some were told to “get a puppy to cuddle” instead.

Hanne Andersen told RT she was impregnated at the age of 15 after being allegedly raped. Yet authorities failed to assess her case thoroughly.

“There was no conversation with me about how I got pregnant, all they cared about was the fact that I got pregnant and that I had a baby that they could take,” Andersen told RT.

'Assange's days in Ecuadorian Embassy in London are numbered' – Correa to RT

Published time: 28 Jul, 2018 00:08

The days of Julian Assange’s residence in the Ecuadorian embassy in London are numbered, the country’s former president Rafael Correa, who was still at the helm when he offered the WikiLeaks founder asylum, has told RT.

Correa’s remarks came amid speculation that his successor, Lenin Moreno, may soon kick Assange out, probably to be arrested by British authorities. According to Assange himself, this would lead to the unsealing of a secret US indictment against him and his extradition to America.

Moreno this week said that, sooner or later, the whistleblower will have to leave the diplomatic mission. However, Ecuador wants to make sure that nothing “poses danger” to the whistleblower's life, the president stressed.

“You can be sure that he [Moreno] is a hypocrite. He already has an agreement with the US about what will happen to Assange. And now he's just trying to sweeten the pill by saying he's going to have a dialogue” about conditions of the transfer, Correa told RT Spanish. “I'm afraid … that Assange's days in our embassy are numbered.”

Ecuador’s President Lenin Moreno, has made no secret that Assange’s refuge was a nuisance for his government, which he inherited from Correa. The Australian has been living at the compound since 2012 and has lately been barred by his Ecuadorean hosts from any communications.

Accusing the incumbent Ecuadorian president of “reducing [Assange] to a hacker who snooped in private emails,” Correa pointed out that Moreno cannot grasp the complexity of Assange's role in exposing human rights abuses by the US government, or the harsh punishment the 47-year-old will face if extradited to the US.
