Wikileaks co-founder Julian Assange has been arrested at the Ecuadorian embassy in London.Assange took refuge in the embassy in 2012 to avoid extradition to Sweden over a sexual assault case that has since been dropped. At Westminster Magistrates' Court on Thursday he was found guilty of failing to surrender to the court. He now faces US federal conspiracy charges related to one of the largest ever leaks of government secrets. The UK will decide whether to extradite Assange, in response to allegations by the Department for Justice that he conspired with former US intelligence analyst Chelsea Manning to download classified databases. He faces up to five years in US prison if convicted on the charges of conspiracy to commit computer intrusion. https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-47891737

The Wikileaks co-founder has been granted an Ecuadorian ID card, as a step towards ending his five-year confinement in Ecuador's London embassy. The UK Foreign Office has refused a request from Ecuador to grant Assange diplomatic immunity. In a letter to us, the FCO stressed that it would not discuss the matter except to say that the case would only be resolved if Assange leaves the embassy and 'faces justice'. -
