from Sputnik News:
The WikiLeaks has accused Ecuador of “illegally terminating Assange’s political asylum in violation of international law,” after he was arrested by the British police inside the Ecuadorian embassy on Thursday.
The WikiLeaks founder, who has been granted asylum by Ecuador since 2012, was taken into custody at a central London police station on 11 April where he will remain, before being presented before Westminster Magistrates’ Court as soon as is possible, according to the Metropolitan Police.
Supporters and critics of Julian Assange rushed to social media to speak out on the whistleblower’s detainment.
its crazy to think he's been on the run or seeking asylum almost 10 years
