Assange arrest
Wikileaks co-founder Julian Assange was arrested by British police on Thursday after the Ecuadorian government abruptly ended his seven-year asylum. Assange took refuge in 2012 to escape extradition to Sweden while being investigated in a sexual assault case.
Ecuadorian President Lenin Moreno said that as a condition of his release, the British government has promised not to extradite Assange to a country which practices the death penalty.

Red light, red line
More than 40,000 Dutch citizens have signed a petition demanding the government criminalise the purchase of sexual services.
The Netherlands currently has some of the most relaxed laws in the world regarding prostitution, allowing the buying and selling of sex between "consenting adults".
The petition was introduced by the non-profit organisation Exxpose and comes just weeks after Dutch lawmakers voted to ban tours of Amsterdam’s infamous red light district.
