Julian Assange; the co-founder of Wikileaks has been jailed over bail breach

Today, Julian Assange has been jailed for 11 months for breaching his bail conditions.

The 47-year-old was found guilty of breaching the Bail Act last month after his arrest where he was found hiding in the Ecuadorian Embassy.

Back in 2012 he took refuge in the London Embassy to avoid sexual assault allegation, which he has denied.

When Assange was taken down to the cells, he raised his fist in defiance as a symbol to those who supported him in the public gallery.
