Julian Assange: Pamela Anderson says UK is ‘America’s b****’ in furious rant after arrest - Express.co.uk

Ms Anderson has thrown her support behind the WikiLeaks founder, who was today arrested by police after they entered the Ecuadorian Embassy where they Australia had been holed up since 2012. Pamela Anderson tweeted: “I am in shock. I couldn’t hear clearly what he said? He looks very bad. How could you Ecuador? (Because he exposed you). How could you UK.? Of course - you are America’s b***h and you need a diversion from your idiotic Brexit b*******.”

In a further rant, Ms Anderson also lambasted Donald Trump, accusing the US President of being a “toxic coward”.

The 51-year-old in another tweet, continued: “And the USA ? This toxic coward of a President. He needs to rally his base?

“You are selfish and cruel. You have taken the entire world backwards.

“You are devils and liars and thieves. And you will ROTT. And WE WILL RISE.”

Julian Assange arrested: Ecuador condemns 'AGGRESSIVE' Wikileaks founder - full statement

Mr Assange was arrested by Metropolitan Police officers at the Ecuadorian Embassy after the nation withdrew his asylum.

Ecuadorean president Lenin Moreno the South American country had complied with its duties to Mr Assange under international law but accused Wikileaks of repeatedly violated the rules of his asylum, including a provision which was meant to stop him intervening in the internal matters of other countries.

Mr Moreno claimed a leak of Vatican documents in 2019 was the most recent example of Mr Assange violating that policy.

In a video posted on Twitter, Mr Moreno also said Ecuador has "reached the limit of its patience" with Mr Assange.

Julian Assange: How long has he been in the UK's Ecuadorian Embassy? Why has he been arrested?

He added: "I requested Great Britain to guarantee that Mr Assange would not be extradited to a country where he could face torture or the death penalty.

"The British government has confirmed it in writing, in accordance with its own rules."

A Met Police statement said: “Julian Assange, 47, (03.07.71) has today, Thursday 11 April, been arrested by officers from the Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) at the Embassy of Ecuador, Hans Crescent, SW1 on a warrant issued by Westminster Magistrates' Court on 29 June 2012, for failing to surrender to the court.

“He has been taken into custody at a central London police station where he will remain, before being presented before Westminster Magistrates' Court as soon as is possible.

Who is Julian Assange? What crimes is Wikileaks founder being accused of?

“The MPS had a duty to execute the warrant, on behalf of Westminster Magistrates' Court, and was invited into the embassy by the Ambassador, following the Ecuadorian government's withdrawal of asylum.”

An additional statement released later added: “Julian Assange, 47, (03.07.71) has today, Thursday 11 April, been further arrested on behalf of the United States authorities, at 10.53am after his arrival at a central London police station.

“This is an extradition warrant under Section 73 of the Extradition Act.

“He will appear in custody at Westminster Magistrates' Court as soon as possible.”

A Home Office spokesperson also said: “We can confirm that Julian Assange was arrested in relation to a provisional extradition request from the United States of America.

“He is accused in the United States of America of computer related offences.”

Speaking after Mr Assange's arrest, Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt told Sky News: "Julian Assange is no hero. He has hidden from the truth for years and years.

“It is right that his future should be decided in the British judicial system.”
