VTV.vn - Wikileaks founder Julian Assange has been arrested. He was taken into custody at the Ecuadorian Embassy in London on Thursday.

The metropolitan police said its officers went into the embassy to detain him for quote "failing to surrender to the court" over a warrant issued in 2012. The WikiLeaks founder shot to prominence in 2010 when his site published a cache of leaks from the US military.

Assange had taken refuge in the Ecuadorian Embassy for seven years, but the country withdrew his asylum on Thursday after his repeated violations of international conventions.
