Julian Assange Arrested In London

[Dulcinea]

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange was arrested in London Thursday, British police said, ending the long tenure of the anti-secrecy activist in Ecuador's embassy.

He had been holed up at the embassy in London since 2012, after Ecuador granted him asylum to avoid extradition to Sweden for sexual misconduct allegations.

His attorney, Jen Robinson, said Assange "has been arrested not just for breach of bail conditions but also in relation to a U.S. extradition request."

The U.K. Metropolitan Police Service said Assange was arrested on a warrant from 2012 for failing to surrender to the court.

One case against Assange has since expired but he had stayed in the country's London embassy over fears of being extradited and prosecuted in the U.S.

5. The extradition under the buffoon regime is not good for the USA

If he is brought here all the dirt he has accumulated in favour of the buffoon and his interactions with Putin will be destroyed. I would rather have the UK interrogate him.

6. UK's not much better right now, but better than here I dare say.
