On Tuesday June 19th, 2012, Julian Assange walked into the Ecuador's embassy in London to claim asylum.
The WikiLeaks founder walked into the Ecuadorian embassy and claimed asylum under the UN's human rights declaration. This followed an unsuccessful attempt to appeal against his deportation to Sweden to face allegations of rape.
The following morning on June 20th the Metropolitan police declared that Assange, who is still under bail conditions following his unsuccessful appeal to extradition, had breached those conditions.
They police stared that they will arrest him and are aware of his current location at the embassy in Knightsbridge, west London.
The six year standoff between Julian Assange, UK police, and the US Deep State had begun.
