Julian Assange, the Wikileaks founder who has made enemies of governments around the world by releasing confidential, and often embarrassing, intelligence documents to the public, was arrested Thursday at the Ecuadorian embassy in London by the British police.
Assange was expelled from the Ecuadorian embassy, where he has lived for four years, after "his repeated violations to international conventions and daily-life protocols" led the Ecuadorian ambassador to rescind his country’s protection.
Wikileaks announced last Friday that Ecuador "already has an agreement with the UK for his arrest"
The Department of Justice has charged Assange in connection with his publication of thousands of classified government documents, a fact they accidentally revealed in an unrelated court filing in February.
