VOICED: Assange asylum decision leaves Britain in uncharted waters

Julian Assange, founder of WikiLeaks, has been granted asylum by Ecuador after being holed up in their London embassy since June. Ecuador's decision came after the UK, Sweden, and the US refused to guarantee that Assange would not be extradited to the US, where he fears an unfair trial for publishing classified documents. Despite legal appeals being exhausted in the UK, British authorities are bound by law to extradite him to Sweden for questioning on allegations of rape and sexual assault. Assange's supporters remain fervent, celebrating the asylum decision, but the challenge remains on how he will leave the embassy. The UK Foreign Office has warned it could revoke the embassy's diplomatic status, allowing police to remove Assange, leading to a tense standoff.
