...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.Sweden has made a formal request to interview Assange in Ecuador’s London Embassy, four years after the initial offer from Ecuadorian authorities. The deal was struck on Wednesday.
[...]
“In the coming weeks a date will be established for the proceedings to be held at the Embassy of Ecuador in the United Kingdom,” according to a communique released by Ecuador’s Foreign Ministry, as quoted by Telesur media outlet.
[...]
"Under Swedish law, it’s a fundamental procedure. The reason why this hasn’t occurred previously is because of the Swedish prosecutor’s refusal of Ecuador’s invitation. And this is something that should have happened five years ago," [Assange legal team member Melinda] Taylor added, as quoted by Sputnik.
[...]
The Ecuadorian authorities say they have been urging Swedish prosecutors to interview Assange since 2012.
[...]
In February, the UN ruled that Assange has been the victim of arbitrary detention “by the Governments of Sweden and the United Kingdom.”
