Julian Assange, founder of the anti-secrecy website WikiLeaks, faces arrest again in Britain after he breached the terms of his bail agreement by staying overnight at the Ecuadorian embassy, where he sought asylum.
Assange, who seeks to avoid extradition to Sweden on claims of rape and sexual molestation of two women, sought asylum in Ecuador’s embassy in London yesterday. He says the case is actually a U.S. effort to punish him for releasing diplomatic and military communications through his WikiLeaks website.
