(CBS News) LONDON – He may be living in one of the poshest parts of London, but Julian Assange remains confined inside, a prisoner of his own making. Senior 홍천출장안마 diplomatic sources told CBS News the WikiLeaks founder has been granted permission to remain indefinitely at the Ecuadorean Embassy in London “until a diplomatic solution can be reached.” They hesitated to use the word “welcome.” Special Section: WikiLeaksAssange boosts Ecuador leader’s anti-U.S. credU.K.: WikiLeaks’ Assange won’t be allowed to leave Assange has been holed up in the embassy since seeking refuge June 30. On Thursday, the Latin American country granted Assange “diplomatic asylum,” but the British government has repeated the threat that if Assange steps one foot off embassy grounds he will be arrested and extradited to Sweden. “Diplomatic” rather than “political” asylum seems a small change, but it’s an important one.

Human Rights Council said the scale of the Houla carnage indicated “involvement at the highest levels” of Syria’s military and government. It is first time the U.N. has described events in Syria’s civil war as war crimes and could be used in possible future prosecution against Assad or others. The council also said the conflict is moving in increasingly “brutal” directions on both sides.
