BREAKING WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange arrested at Ecuador embassy in London
Police in London, England, arrested the head of WikiLeaks, Julian Assange, and took him into custody after the Ecuadorian Embassy in which he lived withdrew his asylum status.
Westminster Magistrates' Court issued a warrant for the arrest of Assange on June 29, 2012, because he failed to surrender to the court so he could be extradited to Sweden. In a video statement posted to Twitter, Ecuador's President Lenin Moreno explained the decision to withdraw asylum for Assange after nearly seven years, emphasizing his country's sovereign right to do so.
"When I became President of Ecuador, I inherited this situation and decided to adopt a protocol to set the daily life rules at the Embassy, which is the [least] anyone may expect from a guest hosted at his own house. Ecuador has fulfilled its obligations in the framework of international law." Sajid Javid, the U.K. home secretary, tweeted that Assange is"rightly facing justice" after the arrest, thanking the Metropolitan Police and Ecuador for their roles."No one is above the law," Javid wrote.
