Um, didn't he become an Ecuadorian citizen? I mean, sure, they can physically remove him from the embassy, but he is still entitled to protection from his country, and "withdrawing asylum" raises questions about either the validity of these reports or what exactly the Ecuadorian government plans to do with him. (Revoke citizenship and kick him out? Was granting him "citizenship" a dramatic sham?)
