A judge has told WikiLeaks founder Julian Assangethat he will be arrested for jumping bail should he leave the Ecuadorian Embassy in London where he has been living for more than five years. Emma Arbuthnot, senior district judge at Westminster Magistrates’ Court, dismissed every argument advanced by Assange’s legal team and said: “The impression I have, and this may well be dispelled if and when Mr Assange finally appears in court, is that he is a man who wants to impose his terms on the course of justice, whether the course of justice is in this jurisdiction or in Sweden. “He appears to consider himself above the normal rules of law and wants justice only if it goes in his favour.” When Sweden sought Assange’s extradition on rape charges in 2012, he jumped bail and sought the safety of the Ecuadorian embassy. He cannot be arrested by the British police because the UK and Ecuador do not have an extradition treaty.
