Just go visit. He already agreed that it would be ok long ago.
It's not that simple. They had to find a procedure that is acceptable to Swedish, Ecuadorian and British courts. These negotiations have only recently been completed and a meeting has tentatively been booked for the end of October.

How do you suggest Sweden should interview him? Attack an embassy?

Not likely. They're not just going to cut his Internet and then drone him the same day. They're hoping he comes out on his own.
My guess is that if they decide to kill him they'd likely do it next Friday evening, on the bet that the deadman's switch has a 14-day timeout.

Scary timing. So one possible reason this could be is to stop him from rallying the troops.
You actually believe some 4channers when he says he is a intelligence officer? I have a bridge to sell you...

If he has and holds evidence of something so damaging that a tweet of the supposed hash of the file is enough to be a threat to a person in power, then why has he allowed himself to live under effectively self-imposed house-arrest for the past 4 years?
I can't imagine that the Wikileaks apparatus doesn't have sufficient op-sec and op-capability to ensure that whatever they're holding gets released effectively should they choose for it to be, so I find myself erring towards this being an over-played hand for the most part.

Yes, I'm sure that there was no way this could have been done faster and that the statue of limitations in Sweden running out had nothing to do with it. /s
All is possible. This guy lives a fucking dystopian nightmare.
