Early Thursday morning, Julian Assange was arrested by police after the Ecuadorian government rescinded its offer of asylum to the Wikileaks founder and evicted him from their embassy in England.
This puts an end to his seven year stay at the Ecuadorian Embassy after the South American nation granted him asylum for his claims that he was being politically persecuted by the United States and its allies. Wikileaks has been publishing unredacted confidential documents since the website's founding in 2006.
Soon after being taken into custody by British authorities after the Westminster Magistrates' Court found guilty him of failing to surrender to the court, it was announced that Assange will be facing charges in the US for assisting Chelsea Manning to leak classified government documents to Wikileaks.
After over a decade, Assange will finally answer for the American lives he put at risk while leaking sensitive government intelligence on the web.
