The arrest of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange at the Ecuadorian embassy where he has lived since 2012 is splashed across most of the front pages today.
The Guardian reports that “Assange faces five years in US jail as standoff ends”, adding the WikiLeaks founder was “dragged” from the embassy yesterday “following 2,487 days” holed up inside. The paper said the arrest had “provoked a fierce debate over Assange’s future”.
