WikiLeaks Founder Assange Arrested in London as Ecuador Withdraws Political Asylum 

    WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has been arrested in London after Ecuador withdrew his political asylum citing alleged "repeated violations." WikiLeaks has slammed Ecuador's move as a violation of international law, while President Lenin Moreno claimed the UK had agreed not to extradite Assange to a country where he may face death penalty.
