Ecuador has announced it will allow Swedish prosecutors to interview WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange in its London embassy, where Assange has been living for more than four years. Swedish authorities want to question Assange about allegations of sexual misconduct, although charges have never been filed. Assange has been confined to the Ecuadorean Embassy, fearing that if he were to attempt to leave, he would be arrested by British police and ultimately extradited to the United States, where it is believed there is a sealed indictment against him over WikiLeaks’ release of documents.
