[GPSCC-chat] Breaking--Ecaudor Says British Police Threaten to Seize Assange

[Gerry Gras]

This is a very strange story.  I thought that an embassy
was considered to be part of the country it represents,
so if the police were to enter the embassy and do anything
not acceptable, it would be considered like an invasion,
a very serious matter.  I don't recall any other occasion
of invasion of embassy, other than the Iranian invasion
of the U.S. Embassy in 1978, which was a very serious matter.

What have I misunderstood?
