Assange could lose protection of Ecuador embassy

independent, UK - Julian Assange could be kicked out of Ecuador's embassy in London after the country's foreign minister said the situation was "not sustainable."

The WikiLeaks founder was granted asylum in 2012 to avoid extradition to Sweden over rape allegations, and has been holed up in Knightsbridge for five-and-a-half years.

Swedish prosecutors have dropped their investigation into the allegations, but Mr Assange, who denied the allegations, fears he will be extradited to the United States if he leaves the building and that there is a sealed indictment ordering his arrest.

I'd bet folding money that the US regime just slavers at the thought of being able to illegally imprison Assange as they did to Manning.

Law has too often been a tool of the psychopaths in power rather than a protection to the innocent, but lately the amount of included contempt for even the form of real law is sickening. That open contempt is what tells me we've about reached Jefferson's "convulsion" point.
