Wikileaks Founder Arrested In London

Assange was arrested following the Ecuadorian government’s withdrawal of asylum, and was taken into custody at a central London police station where he will remain, before being presented before Westminster Magistrates’ Court. According to the London Metropolitan Police, Assange will appear at Westminster Magistrates’ Court as soon as is possible. Wikileaks, however, is protesting Assange’s innocence, and has claimed that Ecuador had acted illegally in terminating Mr Assange’s political asylum ‘in violation of international law’. Assange had been hauled up at the Ecuadorean embassy in London since 2012 to avoid extradition to Sweden on a rape charge that has since been dropped.
