"Ecuador has illegally terminated Assange political asylum in violation of international law," said WikiLeaks on Twitter. "He was arrested by the British police inside the Ecuadorian embassy minutes ago."

Assange has been living in the Ecuadorian Embassy since 2012 to avoid extradition to Sweden over sexual assault charges. The charges have since been dropped, but Assange was still wanted in the UK for skipping bail in 2012. He remained in the embassy due to concerns that if he left the US may also seek to extradite him on espionage charges.
