BREAKING: Assange arrested by British police after Ecuador withdrew his asylum

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange was arrested by British police Thursday moments after Ecuador announced it withdrew his asylum for “repeatedly violating international conventions and protocol.”

He is wanted in Sweden for sexual misconduct and in the United States for exposing highly confidential information through fellow scumbag, Chelsea Manning, a former U.S. Army member who provided Assange with the information, and who thinks he's a woman.

Ecuadoran Foreign Minister Jose Valencia told Teleamazonas this week that living indefinitely in the embassy is harmful for Assange’s "state of mind, his health,” but that the POS has a right to a fair trial and right to a defense.

London's Metropolitan Police said earlier this month that they would arrest Assange if he were freed. They did.

Assange faces possible extradition to the U.S. for publishing thousands of classified military and diplomatic cables through WikiLeaks.

Assange, 47, has been in the embassy since 2012 when British courts ordered him extradited to Sweden to face questioning in a sexual assault case. That matter has since been dropped, but Wikileaks is facing a federal grand jury investigation over its publication of American diplomatic and military secrets during the Iraq War. It was the largest classified information dump in U.S. history and put many lives at risk.

Assange, an Australian native, was arrested on a Westminster Magistrates’ Court warrant which was issued on June 29, 2012, for failing to surrender to court, Metropolitan Police said in a statement.

“The MPS had a duty to execute the warrant, on behalf of Westminster Magistrates' Court, and was invited into the embassy by the Ambassador, following the Ecuadorian government's withdrawal of asylum,” the statement said.

UK Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt thanked the Ecuadorean government for their cooperation with the Assange arrest.

"Julian Assange is no hero and no one is above the law. He has hidden from the truth for years," Hunt tweeted. "Thank you Ecuador and President @Lenin Moreno for your cooperation with @foreignoffice to ensure Assange faces justice."

“This man is a son, a father, a brother. [So was Stalin.] He has won dozens of journalism awards. [So has CNN.] He's been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize every year since 2010 [because the Nobel Peace Prize committee is so suck-worthy they gave Yassar Arafat, Al Gore and Barack Obama the award, and in the latter case, after only being in office a few months, having accomplished nothing.] Powerful actors, including CIA, are engaged in a sophisticated effort to dehumanise, delegitimize and imprison him,” WikiLeaks tweeted.

Assange is no hero. Chelsea Manning is no hero. The left says they are heroes because the left has a hatred for the country and Western Civilization in general.

This is a developing story.
