One would think "diplomatic immunity" laws would apply. UK dishonoring diplomatic immunity certainly reeks .
Diplomatic immunity is a form of legal immunity that ensures diplomats are given safe passage and are considered not susceptible to lawsuit or prosecution under the host country's laws, but they can still be expelled.Posted by Baby Steps (here)

Julian Assange becomes Ecuadorean citizen
The Ecuadorean government has confirmed that Julian Assange was granted Ecuadorean citizenship on 12 December.
Ecuador subsequently asked the UK to recognise Mr Assange as a diplomatic agent - a move that could have given him immunity.
The UK has refused, saying Mr Assange - who has been at the embassy since 2012 - should now leave and "face justice".
