Julian Assange: Ecuador 'concerned' over lack of progress
14 May 2017 Europe
Ecuador has voiced concern over the "serious lack of progress" by the Swedish government in dealing with Wikileaks founder Julian Assange.
It said there had been a "serious failure" by Sweden's prosecutor to complete an inquiry into sexual assault allegations dating back to 2010.
Mr Assange has been confined to the Ecuadorean embassy, where he has asylum, for nearly five years.
He fears he will be extradited to the US if he leaves the building.
