The WikiLeaks founder has been in the London building since 2012 after seeking asylum there as Swedish police wanted to question him over allegations of sexual assault and rape. WikiLeaks tweeted on Thursday night: “A high-level source within the Ecuadorian state has told WikiLeaks that Julian Assange will be expelled within 'hours to days' using the INA papers offshore scandal as a pretext and that it already has an agreement with the UK for his arrest.” Mr Assange is wanted by American authorities for his role in publishing secret US documents.
According to The Guardian, Ecuador’s president, Lenin Moreno, said Mr Assange had “repeatedly violated” some of the conditions of his asylum. Mr Moreno said that “Assange cannot lie or, much less, hack into private accounts or private phones”. Mr Assange was also ordered by Ecuador to not “intervene in the politics of countries, or worse friendly countries”. The president claims that photos of his bedroom, wife and family were circulated online, although he didn’t accuse Mr Assange of doing this.

He added: “We should ensure Mr Assange’s life is not at risk but he’s violated the agreement we have with him so many times.” In 2010, an international arrest warrant was issued for Mr Assange amid the sexual assault claims in Sweden. Denying the allegations, Assange said he would be extradited from Sweden to the US because of his role in the publication of secret documents. The leaks included Afghanistan and Iraq war logs, a video entitled ‘Collateral Murder’ and CableGate.

I remember Reddit just before he moved into the embassy.
There was a front page post saying "Does anybody worry that Julian Assange is just going to disappear", and the comments were full of people saying we needed to crowdsource security for him, we needed to help protect him, he was vital to truth and transparency.
Now, lol.

I was just looking at the Reddit comments from when he first took refuge in 2012. What a long way we've come since then.
