The arrest of Julian Assange and his forcible eviction from the Embassy of Ecuador in London is a sad milestone in the history of a brave whistleblower.
There was an unnecessary show of force by the British authorities and a virtual swarming of the embassy - to arrest a nonviolent whistleblower.
Julian practised the classic nonviolent resistance action of refusing to leave voluntarily and had to be forced to leave
We will no doubt go through the mockery of a bail trial followed by a trial for extradition to the United States.
This distressing episode casts further shame on the United States, the Ecuadorian President and the United Kingdom.
It is horrifying news and Julian needs our support now more than ever
