Julian Assange was in jail for nearly 7 years in the Ecuadorian embassy in London, from June 2012 until April 2019, where he sought asylum to avoid extradition. After his asylum was revoked, he was arrested by British authorities and subsequently sentenced to 50 weeks in prison for absconding from bail. Following his release from that sentence in September 2019, he has remained in custody at the Belmarsh prison while fighting extradition to the United States.
