Julian Assange arrested in London
He was arrested by the British police at Ecuadorean embassy
WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange was arrested by British police on Thursday after they were invited into the Ecuadorean embassy where he has been holed up since 2012. “Julian Assange, 47, has today, Thursday 11 April, been arrested by officers from the Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) at the Embassy of Ecuador,” police said.
Ecuador’s President Lenin Moreno has issued a video explaining his decision to withdraw Julian Assange’s asylum status after seven years.
Police said they arrested Assange after being “invited into the embassy by the Ambassador, following the Ecuadorean government’s withdrawal of asylum.”
