- bainsfather 9y agoAccording to former ambassador Craig Murray, this applies only to head of mission (ambassador) : https://www.craigmurray.org.uk/archives/2018/01/ecuador-and-assange/ https://www.craigmurray.org.uk/archives/2018/01/ecuador-and-... A host state may expel a diplomat, but may not remove/ignore their diplomatic immunity.
