Default WikiLeaks Founder Julian Assange has been granted asylum by Ecuador

After claims from an embassy official earlier that UK police were threatening to raid the ecudorian embassy and remove Julian Assange there are reports police have forced a fire exit and entered the lobby of the embassy.

Live stream by someone outside the embassy is up now.

The havent yet crossed into sovereign Ecuadorian soil within the embassy if they do it will cause a diplomatic crapstorm and be seen as a show of agression and an invasion into another country and possibly even an act of war.

It is also against u.n. law and the vienna convention.
UN Dec. 1967: granting asylum is a peaceful and humanitarian act that cannot be regarded as unfriendly by any other State.

They are trying their best to intimidate ecudor into handing him over it is pretty disgraceful behaviour.
----------------------------------------
People at the embassy just filmed a pizza delivery guy go into the embassy wearing bike leathers and a crash helmet then walk out 5 minutes later unchallenged that would just be amazing if they really pulled the old switcheroo trick.

Personally i hope assange was smuggled out of the embassy days ago and is sunning himself somewhere nice by now.
