Hague: No safe passage for Assange

Julian Assange will not be allowed safe passage out of the United Kingdom, Foreign Secretary William Hague said today as he warned that diplomatic immunity should not be used to harbour alleged criminals.

Mr Hague said it was a “matter of regret” that the Ecuadorian government decided to grant the Wikileaks founder political asylum but warned that it “does not change the fundamentals” of the case.
