Julian Assange has been arrested on a US extradition warrant, London police confirm

was arrested inside the embassy of Ecuador in London Thursday on what his lawyer said was an extradition request from the United States.to take Assange into custody on a 2012 British warrant for bail jumping after the Ecuadorian government's withdrawal of asylum., Ecuadorian president Lenin Moreno said his country's patience for Assange's behavior "has reached its limit."

The Justice Department inadvertently revealed the existence of a sealed criminal case against Assange in a court filing last year. It’s not clear what he’s been accused of. Separately, he has been under U.S. Justice Department scrutiny for years for WikiLeaks’ role in publishing thousands of government secrets.

Moreno, the Ecuadorian president, did not specifically confirm that Assange would be extradited to the U.S., saying only that he"will not be extradited to a country where he could suffer torture or the death penalty."He said the British government confirmed that in writing.

The deep state was exposed yesterday. Now they're lashing out.

Mfw they make him name his source during questioning

Trump needs him here to be nominated as the new head of his propaganda bureau?

Dominos falling... Democrats will be going to JAIL

The irony... Trump 'liked' him because it helped him. I doubt he'd like if Assange were to leak to the public the Mueller report in full along with his taxes.

“And I would have gotten away with it too, if it weren’t for those pesky kids!”

U.S. seeks extradition of Assange. No doubt to he can serve as new Secretary of Homeland Security

Sometimes you wake up to good news.

Did anybody else imagine Punxsutawney Phil being pulled from his den?

The big question is: Is Trump going to allow the authorities to do their gob? Or is he going to protect Assange because he helped him win the election? It will be a test, what will be more important for Trump, the country or himself?

Hillary, get ready for prison!

Fuck everyone who liked this FreeAssange

Sad day!

Your country has officially become the baddies. You don't drag a freedom fighter from his sanctuary. This is a bad day for your Country.

Guantánamo!!!!

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange arrested by British police after being evicted from Ecuador’s embassy in LondonAssange initially sought asylum in 2012 to fend off extradition to Sweden, where he faced sexual assault allegations. Ecuador accepted Assange and ultimately granted him citizenship. In May 2017, Swedish authorities dropped the sexual assault investigation. But Assange refused to leave the embassy for fear of extradition to the United States, which is investigating him […] Time to drop that 'secret' indictment. My sources say he’ll be extradited to the US in the coming days

UK pledges it won't send Assange to country with death penalty: EcuadorBritain has guaranteed to Ecuador that WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange will not... Usually, I do not agree with my country extraditing anyone to the US. American justice is off the rails. However, Assange should be executed for treason, he’s an information terrorist, and we outlawed that, so he absolutely should be sent back to the USA. Wait a cotton-pickin' minute. We have the death penalty. 😖 This is incorrect. As long as the country he is sent to agrees not to use the death penalty, they will send him there. The US had to agree to this to get El Chapo. They have never reneged on that promise.
