Fame, infamy and incarceration: The Julian Assange story
WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange was removed yesterday from the Ecuadorian embassy in London after having his asylum revoked; he was then immediately arrested.
But if you haven't been paying extremely close attention over the last decade or so, you might not quite recall exactly how Assange ended up exiled in the embassy in the first place.
And in many ways Assange's legal troubles are just getting started now that he's been arrested and the US has formally charged him with crimes.
If there's one thing to be learned from Assange's history, it's that he will almost certainly not be going down without a long and protracted legal battle.
