| Subject: Malevolent Britain to protest to Ecuador over WikiLeaks leader's asylum Fri Aug 14, 2015 12:35 am | |
| Britain said on Thursday it would make a formal protest to Ecuador over its decision to provide asylum to WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange in its London embassy and so prevent his extradition to Sweden over alleged sex crimes.
"Ecuador must recognise that its decision to harbour Mr Assange more than three years ago has prevented the proper course of justice," British Foreign Office Minister Hugo Swire said in a statement.
The comments came after Swedish prosecutors dropped inquiries into three allegations of sexual molestation and unlawful coercion against the 44-year-old Australian as they had run out of time to bring charges.
However, they said they would push on with an investigation into an allegation of rape made in 2010 against him.
