Julian Assange Arrested In Ecuadorian Embassy

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.
