HeadlineApr 12, 2019

Julian Assange was arrested shortly after the Ecuadorean government withdrew his asylum. Former Ecuadorean President Rafael Correa criticized Ecuador’s current president, Lenín Moreno, for what happened. Correa wrote, “The greatest traitor in Ecuadorian and Latin American history, Lenin Moreno, allowed the British police to enter our embassy in London to arrest Assange. Moreno is a corrupt man, but what he has done is a crime that humanity will never forget.”
