Expulsion Looms for Julian Assange, Holed Up in London's Ecuadorian Embassy for 7 Years
A heavy police presence could be seen outside the Ecuadorian embassy in London in the early hours of Friday after WikiLeaks issued an alert the evening prior saying Julian Assange "will be expelled" in a matter of "hours to days" from the place of his asylum and safe haven from authorities since 2012. WikiLeaks said it was tipped off by two "high level" Ecuadorian government sources who described the expulsion as imminent.
