    Julian Assange has taken refuge in the Ecuadorian Embassy in London. He is seeking asylum to avoid being extradited to Sweden where he faces trumped up charges of rape.

    This is just the latest event in the ongoing extradition saga of Julian Assange, the founder of Wikileaks. Assange is still being pursued and punished for his release of the US diplomatic cables last year.

    this is interesting (from november, 2010):

    'If WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange needs a home, Ecuador’s deputy foreign minister says this Andean nation is happy to provide one.'

    'Deputy Foreign Minister Kintto Lucas said in audio posted online by the EcuadorInmediato news site that “we are open to giving him residence in Ecuador, without any kind of trouble and without any kind of conditions.”'

    Getting him from the Ecuadorian Embassy in London to the airport might be a little tricky...
