Finally granted asylum but Britain has refused to give him "safe passage", or in other words they'll arrest and extradite him to Sweden as soon as he steps foot outside the Embassy.

They also have a law from 1987-->Diplomatic and Consular Premises Act 1987 which allows them to revoke the diplomatic status of an embassy on UK soil, which would potentially allow police to enter the building to arrest Assange for breaching the terms of his bail.

Undermines their own embassys abroad though so probably not gonna see this happen.

Currently 40 cops :eek::rolleyes: outside the embassy so he ain't gonna be doing a runner, only options seem to be is if Ecuador give him some kind of diplomatic or UN Representative status or an appeal to the International Court of Justice...

As someone on a different thread brought up, either put him in a diplomatic bag or make him a diplomatic courier and he's free to go where he wants under Ecuador's protection.

In 1984 there was an attempt to smuggle a Nigerian man from the UK in a so-called "diplomatic bag" protected from inspection. The bag was in fact a large crate - and customs officers successfully intercepted it at the airport.

From links above.

Interesting stuff, this could drag on for months/years even!!!

Ain't this the wrong board??? ^^

Can't see how this guy, who is wanted for rape with an international arrest warrant by the Swedes, has anything to do with Computers & Technology at BIE.

I don't really think this is appropriate for this forum, as it is not even wikileaks related, seems to be a big thread covering this here
