Julian Assange
"I know nothing about WikiLeaks."
It comes after Diane Abbott defended the Wikileaks co-founder.
Julian Assange was removed from the Ecuadorian Embassy in London after making the building his safe haven for seven years. The Ecuadorian government revoked his asylum status, which allowed the UK government to arrest him for skipping bail on an extradition charge. The US followed up with their own charges of alleged conspiracy with Chelsea Manning “to break a password to a classified US government computer”. Assange had some high profile visitors over the years, including Pamela Anderson and Noam Chomsky, as well as a feline companion affectionately known as “embassy cat”.
He could face a maximum penalty of five years in jail.
'You need a diversion from your idiotic Brexit bulls***.'
Including the time Nigel Farage 'couldn't remember' what he was doing in the building.
WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has been arrested by the Metropolitan Police inside the Ecuadorian Embassy. The police were carrying out an arrest warrant issued in 2012. Assange took refuge in the embassy in the same year to avoid extradition to Sweden on sexual assault charges which were eventually dropped. Assange remained in the embassy fearing he would be arrested by British authorities and extradited to the United States where federal prosecutors were investigating WikiLeaks.
The WikiLeaks founder was also arrested for breaching his bail conditions.
