Ecuador Ratifies Julian Assange Asylum Status, Offers Sweden Access To WikiLeaks Founder
Ecuador ratified Friday its diplomatic asylum status for WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, who has been living in the country s London embassy since June 2012 to avoid being extradited to Sweden, where he faces sexual assault charges. The move makes official Assange s protected status and means he can remain under the country s protection indefinitely.
