After Years of Refusal, Swedish Prosecutors to Question Assange in London 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------


 
Swedish prosecutors have issued a request to question Wiki Leaks 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.
