Assange Attempts to Avoid Arrest

     Tensions continue to rise in the English community as Julian Assange, founder of Wiki Leaks, awaits the decision regarding his petition for asylum in Ecuador.
     Assange , who has been hiding out in the Ecuadorian embassy in London, has allegedly committed counts of rape and sexual assault in Sweden. Since the initial arrest, British government agreed to extradite Assange to Sweden for trial. Attempting to evade arrest, Assange petitioned for asylum in Ecuador. Outraged, British officials threatened harm to the Ecudorian embassy to retrieve Assange.
      In 2010, two Swedish women accused Assange of rape and sexual assault. Dubbed Miss A, one of the women reported that Assange forced himself upon her after she allowed him to stay in her flat. Both admit that a sexual act took place, but differ on consent. For more, check out the Liquid Newsroom's Coverage
