Julius Assange, the founder of Wikileaks who was on bail in a case at London, walked into the Ecuadorian embassy (A Latin American country)on the 19th of June, this year. He was arrested by the London police on December 7th, 2010 and was ordered to stay in custody until a hearing on his possible extradition to Sweden; where he is wanted for questioning over allegations that he has sexually assaulted two women.Assange was challenging these allegations and the proposal to extradite him to Sweden in the courts of England.Asange is apprehensive that if he extradited to Sweden, the courts there would order his extradition to U.S.A.It is a well known fact that the U.S.A as the Global super power is the worst affected, by the leaks made by the website of Assignee i.e. Wiki leaks.  During the course of this to the extent that his extradition to Sweden is legal. Of late period of one-and-half year of legal process, after his arrest in London, the high court has ultimately given judgement Supreme Court too has upheld the ruling of the high court. Last week the same court refused Assange’s attempts to reopen his appeal against extradition, saying it was ‘without merit. ‘In this backdrop Assange went into the Ecuadorian embassy, asking for asylum. Discussions are going on at the highest level in the Ecuadorian Government, as to what to do in this matter.Previously, Some time ago the president of Ecuador is supposed to have offered to Assange, to take shelter in his country.A big campaign is going on now in Ecuador, amongst the people; for bringing about pressure on their Government, so that Assange is allowed to take asylum in the country.  In the meanwhile, the London police served a notice on Assange, to surrender before them. The police say that –Assange has breached the conditions of bail by seeking asylum of the Government of Ecuador; and now failing to surrender would mean a further breach of conditions of his bail; and he is liable to arrest.  Now the dilemma runs over two sets of legalities that have cropped up in the case of Assange.One is the ‘Refugee convention’ and the other is the ‘Extradition law.’Assange’s defence is arguing that the asylum law takes precedence over the extradition law. But some extradition lawyers do think otherwise. They say that; in order to be granted asylum under the refugee convention, he would first have to show that he faced the threat of prosecution from his home country i.e. Australia.  As it stands of now, the Ecuadorian Government is still considering Assange’s application for asylum in the South American country. In case Ecuador did not grant him asylum, Assange would have to be turned over to the U.K police. Question now is, how come they could stop his arrest by the London police, even in case they have decided to give him asylum?
