Ecuador Reshuffles Its Envoy to UK Amid Possible Assange Extradition - Reports

Movie TV Tech Geeks

Ecuador’s President Lenin Moreno decided to change Carlos Abad - the country’s ambassador in London where WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has been residing in the Ecuadorian diplomatic mission, Sputniknews reports.

Abad is known for his role in the talks with the United Kingdom on the resolution of the Assange’s situation. However, these negotiations have not yielded any results.

Assange, who had been prosecuted by Sweden on sexual assault charges, has received asylum in Ecuador and has been living in the country's embassy in the United Kingdom since 2012. Sweden dropped the charges in 2017, but the whistleblower has not left the embassy, citing fears that he might be caught and extradited to the United States, where he might face charges over leaking thousands of classified documents.
