Ecuador granted Assange citizenship and requested that he be granted diplomatic status.

This would enable Assange to leave the Ecuadorian embassy in London, where he had been for several years.

However, the United Kingdom rejected Ecuador's request.

Now a court has ruled that citizenship is revoked, a decision that according to Julian Assange's Ecuadorian lawyer Carlos Poveda was made incorrectly, reports ABC.

However, it is rejected by the country's foreign ministry.

Carlos Poveda announces that he will request a clarification of the decision.
