He's Belarusian citizen. Why do you want to rescue him? There are thousands of people in a similar situation all over the world. What about sending a team to UK to rescue Assange?

Citizenship does not imply loyalty to a government. I live in the UK and would fully support anyone rescuing Assange and everyone else in a similar situation, as long as they do it carefully and don't start a war.

nit: Assange is an Australian citizen. The situation is not analogous.
