(Mediaite.com) Bearded Julian Assange dragged out of Ecuadorian Embassy by police: Wikileaks co-founder Julian Assange was dragged out of the Ecuadorian embassy in London and arrested by police, seven years after he first took refuge to avoid extradition to Sweden over an alleged sexual assault.

Scotland Yard also confirmed that Assange was arrested on behalf of an extradition request from the United States.

Wikileaks protested the decision on Twitter, declaring it a “violation of international law.” Watch via RT. More + VIDEO
