Wikileaks leader Julian Assange lost his court bid to overturn new house rules imposed on him at Ecuador’s Embassy in London where’s he’s been holed up for the last six years to avoid arrest in the U.K.
Ecuadorian Judge Karina Martinez rejected Assange’s request for an injunction against new Foreign Ministry protocols, which bar him from commenting on affairs in a way that could harm Ecuador’s foreign relations, set parameters on his visitation privileges and require him to clean up after his cat.
