Ecuador has agreed to allow Wikileaks founder Julian Assange to be questioned by the Swedish authorities at the Ecuadorean embassy in London.
Mr Assange took refuge there three years ago to avoid extradition to Sweden on charges of sexual assault against two women in 2010.
He denies the accusations and says he fears Sweden would extradite him to the United States for possible trial there.
In 2010 Wikileaks published a huge number of US classified documents.
Britain has accused Ecuador of perverting the course of justice by allowing Mr Assange to remain in its embassy.
A spokeswoman for the Foreign Office said, "It is for the Swedish prosecutor to decide how they now proceed with the legal case."
The agreement was signed in Ecuador after about six months of investigations.
The co-ordinator of Mr Assange's international legal defence team, Baltasar Garzon said, "Julian Assange's rights need to be respected by Sweden and the United Kingdom. These countries have failed to do so until now.
"Julian Assange's only demands are that his fundamental rights are acknowledged and respected, including the asylum granted to him by Ecuador."
According to the British news agency PA, it is unlikely Mr Assange will be questioned by Sweden until the New Year.

People like trident are part of the reason I don't like calling myself left wing.

He's not left wing so you don't need to worry.

His parody alter-ego trident is classically a leftist authoritarian.

Is there such a thing as leftist libertarianism? I was under the assumption that libertarians are (slightly) right wing.

"libertarians" are small government and right leaning.

A non-authoritarian leftist is a social democrat. Most of the younger posters on here are this way.

They believe in the social distribution of wealth and social services but also civil libertarians who believe largely in freedom of association, freedom of speech, freedom of religion, gay marriage etc.

A leftist authoritarian believes free speech should be curtailed if it hurts people's feelings, that the population should be culled and people should be restricted from breeding too much and that controversial figures should not be allowed to speak freely or enter the country lest they might hurt a poor soul's precious feelings.

Yes a Social Democrate is centre left. Leftist authoritarian is a communist or in some cases feminist. The trouble with these types is they tend to think centre right people are extremists like the far right.


Nice deflection. So how is it that Sweden is "out of control"?
