Ecuadorian President has increased pressure for Julian Assange to leave their embassy in London, saying Britain has provided enough guarantees that they won’t extradite him to face death penalty overseas.
During a radio interview, the President suggested that the UK and Ecuador have undergone months of quiet diplomacy to resolve Assange’s situation.
Mr Assange has been residing within the embassy since 2012 after he was granted asylum whilst facing allegations of sex crimes in Sweden that he said were a guise to extradite him to the US.
