Best Answer

In an Ecuadoran embassy in London. Ecuador has granted him asylum but if he tries to leave the embassy London police will arrest and extradite him to Sweden where he is to stand trial for rape, three counts of sexual molestation and illegal coercion.

Assange asked for political amnesty from the Ecuadoran foreign minister, Ricardo Patiño in June 2012 based on his concern that if he is not given asylum the US government will have him arrested and out him in a high security prison while he awaits trial under the Espionage Act of 1917. If found guilty he could be sentenced to death.
