WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange arrested in London after seven-year refuge in embassy
LONDON - WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange was arrested by British police on Thursday after Ecuador withdrew his asylum which had allowed him to take refuge in the country’s embassy in London since 2012.
After losing an appeal, Assange took refuge in the embassy in June 2012 as a way to avoid being extradited. In August of that year he was granted political asylum by the anti-American left-wing former Ecuadorean president Rafael Correa. He has been openly critical of Assange in recent months, calling him an inherited problem and accusing him of violating the rules of his asylum.In July 2010, WikiLeaks released more than 91,000 documents, most of them secret U.S. military reports about the war in Afghanistan. In October of that year, it released another 400,000 classified military files chronicling the war in Iraq from 2004 to 2009.
