Ecuador has granted political asylum to WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, CNN reports:

The UK, meanwhile, has said it will not grant safe passage out of the country to Assange, who has been holed up inside Ecuador’s embassy in London.

In a televised address Wednesday, Patiño said that the Ecuadorian government had received a written notice from British authorities that they would “assault” the country’s embassy in London if Ecuadoran authorities failed to hand over Assange to British authorities.
