LONDON — Julian Assange marked three years inside Ecuador’s London embassy Friday, still facing arrest should he ever step outside.
The WikiLeaks founder entered the building on June 19, 2012, to avoid extradition to Sweden for questioning about alleged sexual assaults.
British police stand outside the diplomatic mission, ready to detain him if he leaves. London’s Metropolitan Police says the round-the-clock operation has cost 11.1 million pounds ($17.6 million) through April.
Sweden wants to question Assange over alleged rape, sexual molestation and coercion involving two Swedish women he met in 2010. Assange denies the allegations.
