holed up in the Ecuador embassy since 2012 to avoid extradition to Sweden over sexual assault claims, is accused of a major leak of classified national security secrets.
Mr Corbyn had tweeted after Mr Assange’s arrest that his extradition for exposing atrocities in Iraq and Afghanistan “should be opposed” by the government. Prosecutors have said they are looking into the case but the investigation hasn’t been re-opened. A woman claims she was raped by Assange in Stockholm in 2010.
