About three hours ago, Julian Assange was arrested and led out of the Embassy. The Embassy now ruled by a right-wing American client government withdrew his asylum moments before. They had notified the police who were waiting and making sure Assange could not escape. I fear for the worst in the long run. For now he will rot in a U.K. prison...but will soon be extradited to the USA as the head of a terrorist organization. Only Wikileaks unresolved complication with Trump's campaign may in some unknown save him...but I strongly doubt it. He looked very old and frail when arrested and was obviously fighting with all of his might not to be pushed into a waiting police van by about ten police and plainclothes officers. Justice is rarely done anywhere nowadays. This likely will result in his facing the death penalty in the USA without his home country lifting a finger. Shame on all involved.
