FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda The UK Foreign Office said British police could no longer reach Assange, who recently had his appeal against deportation to Sweden rejected by the supreme court.
Assange is beyond the grasp of British authorities as long as he is holed up in Ecuador’s London embassy, the government said Wednesday.
Police said Assange had violated the terms of his bail, which include an overnight curfew, and “is now subject to arrest.” Police officers were stationed Wednesday outside the Edwardian apartment block that houses the small South American country’s London embassy.
“We will seek to work with the Ecuadorean authorities to resolve this situation as soon as possible,” the Foreign Office said in a statement.
The 40-year-old Australian took refuge in the mission on Tuesday, saying he was seeking political asylum in Ecuador, whose leftist President Rafael Correa has previously offered words of support.
Ecuador said Assange would “remain at the embassy, under the protection of the Ecuadorean government” while authorities in the capital, Quito, considered his case.
“As a signatory to the United Nations universal declaration for human rights, with an obligation to review all applications for asylum, we have immediately passed his application on to the relevant department in Quito,” the embassy said in a statement.
“While the department assesses Mr Assange’s application, Mr Assange will remain at the embassy, under the protection of the Ecuadorean government.”
Assange was arrested in London in December 2010 at Sweden’s request. Since then he has been fighting extradition to the Scandinavian country, where he is wanted for questioning over alleged sexual assaults on two women in 2010.
He denies the allegations and says the case against him is politically motivated. He also claims extradition could be a first step in efforts to remove him to the United States, where he claims to have been secretly indicted over his website’s disclosure of 250,000 State Department cables. The leaks of the secret diplomatic exchanges deeply angered the U.S. government.
