Which country has granted political asylem to Wikileaks Chief, Julian Assange ?

Bolivia
Colombia
Ecuador
Guyana

The correct answer is (c). Ecuador.

In 2012, Ecuador granted political asylum to Julian Assange, the founder of WikiLeaks, who was wanted by Sweden for questioning on sexual assault allegations. Assange has been living in the Ecuadorian embassy in London ever since, as he fears that if he is extradited to Sweden, he will be extradited to the United States to face charges related to WikiLeaks’ publication of classified US government documents.

Bolivia, Colombia, and Guyana are all South American countries that have been critical of the US government’s handling of the Assange case. However, none of these countries have granted Assange political asylum.

Bolivia’s President Evo Morales has said that he would be willing to grant Assange asylum, but only if Ecuador were to withdraw its asylum offer. Colombia’s President Juan Manuel Santos has said that he is “not convinced” that Assange needs asylum, and Guyana’s President David Granger has said that he is “not aware” of any request for asylum from Assange.
