Assange remains defiant

“Julian will remain in the embassy under the protection of the Ecuadorian government,” Susan Benn of the Julian Assange Defence Fund told reporters outside the embassy in central London.
“Yesterday, Mr Assange was served with a letter from the Metropolitan Police Service requesting that he surrender himself to Belgravia police station. Mr Assange has been advised that he should decline to comply with the police request. This should not be considered any sign of disrespect. Under both international and domestic UK law, asylum assessments take priority over extradition claims. The issues faced by Mr Assange are serious. His life and liberty, and the life and liberty of his organisation and those associated with it, are at stake.” — AFP.
