"show me any reliable document anywhere that shows that anyone is detaining Assange in the Ecuadorean embassy." https://twitter.com/charlesarthur/status/794992629138288640 https://twitter.com/charlesarthur/status/794992629138288640

Arthur even doubled down in January this year to insist he had not been wrong: https://twitter.com/charlesarthur/status/1221173664579825666 https://twitter.com/charlesarthur/status/1221173664579825666
