American investigative journalist Glenn Greenwald announced that Ecuador is getting closer to a decision to revoke WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange's asylum and expel him from its embassy in London.
Ecuadorian President Lenin Moreno visited Great Britain on Friday where he met with officials there to make an agreement under which Assange's asylum would be revoked and he would be handed over to British authorities, Greenwald announced on his website The Intercept.
Greenwald states, citing sources close to the Ecuadorian president and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, that Assange could be kicked out of the Ecuadorian embassy as early as next week.
Australian citizen Assange has been in the Ecuadorian embassy since 2012, after he was accused of sexual assault in Sweden. He must not be arrested inside the embassy, reminds Tanjug.
In the meantime, Sweden dropped the indictment, but he is still threatened with arrest in Britain, because he did not respond to the summons.
Assange believed then, as he still does now, that if he left the embassy building, he would be extradited to the US, where he would be questioned about the activities of WikiLeaks.
