London, March 13 (RHC)-- Swedish prosecutors have issued a request to question WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange in London on sexual assault allegations following pressure from Swedish courts and repeated requests by Assange’s lawyers.
Assange, who has never been charged over the allegations, has been holed up in the Ecuadorean Embassy in London since 2012, fearing a Swedish arrest warrant could lead to his extradition to the United States.
Assange’s lawyers have been asking Swedish prosecutors to question him in London for more than four years.
