LONDON—WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange was arrested by British police and carried out of the Ecuadorean embassy on Thursday, April 11, after his South American hosts abruptly revoked his seven-year asylum, paving the way for his extradition to the United States.
The United States alleged Assange engaged in a 2010 conspiracy with Chelsea Manning, who served seven years in military prison for leaking classified data, and charged him with conspiracy to commit computer intrusion with a maximum penalty of five years.
