London (CNN) - Supporters of Julian Assange gathered outside Ecuador's embassy in London Wednesday, calling for the release of the Wikileaks founder.

Assange is holed-up inside the embassy, and has requested political asylum in Ecuador.

London police say his move into the embassy violated his bail terms, and he now faces arrest.

CNN's Nima Elbagir has more about his arrival at the embassy that apparently took staffers there by surprise.
