'Julian Assange did not 'walk out of the embassy.' The Ecuadorian ambassador invited British police into the embassy and he was immediately arrested,' WikiLeaks wrote on Twitter
"It will be a sad day for democracy if the U.K. and Ecuadorian governments are willing to act as accomplices to the Trump administration's determination to prosecute a publisher for publishing truthful information," Assange's legal team said in a statement last week.
DiEM25, a progressive European political organization founded by former Greek Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis, Assange's arrest "an outrageous violation of human rights and a vicious attack on freedom of speech and whistleblowers.", "The action of the British police in literally dragging Julian Assange from the Ecuadorean embassy and the smashing of international law by the Ecuadorean regime in permitting this barbarity are crimes against the most basic natural justice. This is a warning to all journalists.
In a statement, Ecuadorian President Lenin Moreno said "Ecuador has sovereignly decided to terminate the diplomatic asylum granted to Mr. Assange in 2012."
