Ecuador grants asylum to WikiLeaks founder Assange
Ecuador announced asylum for Julian Assange, labeling him a refugee, a move praised by supporters but likely little help against extradition to Sweden. Britain shows no safe passage, keeping the case in a diplomatic standoff involving the United States and Interpol. U.S. officials reject Assange persecution claims, while Ecuador limits political statements, keeping doors open for negotiations.
