On 11 April WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange was arrested in the Ecuadorian embassy, following the revocation of his right for diplomatic asylum previously made by Ecuador’s president Lenin Moreno. At the time of the arrest, the whistleblower’s cat was not in the embassy.
WikiLeaks tweeted footage of Assange’s cat watching his owner being arrested on 11 April.
WikiLeaks „confirmed“ that Assange’s cat is safe and sound after being „rescued“ from the Ecuadorian embassy in mid-October 2018 upon request from the whistleblower.
