WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange will not leave Ecuadorian Embassy in London

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange says he will not leave the Ecuadorian Embassy in London. Ecuador’s foreign minister says Ecuadorian embassy will continue to provide political asylum to Assange. Assange was staying in embassy for the past year to avoid extradition to Sweden to face potential charges relating to WikiLeaks releases of sensitive diplomatic and defense communications. The Australian will be arrested if he steps outside the building, so the jet-set lifestyle has been replaced by a single room and his laptop. Ecuador says it will not hand Assange over to the UK government nor to anyone else.
