#2> He still faces the more serious accusation of rape.
This should have been in the headline.

I presume he is also "disappointed" his entourage has yet to accept the request the Swedish prosecution team claim they have submitted to interview him in the embassy...
This seems significant too.

There are many details regarding this claim and Sweden's (terrible) handling of the negotiations in the Guardian's article: http://www.theguardian.com/media/2015/aug/11/julian-assange-...
Wikileaks published a cable from 2012 detailing Ecuador's invitation to question Assange in the embassy. What took Sweden so long?

#6The Ecudardian embassy/Assange demanded from the Swedes that they agree to something that they legally cannot agree to before interviewing him. It's not really fair to blame the Swedish authorities for that.

Ecuador was requiring that Sweden agree to something that they legally cannot agree to.
Update:
> “As a condition to let Assange be heard they [Ecuador] have demanded a special agreement in which Sweden recognizes asylum status for Assange. But the government cannot make such a commitment because it is the Migration Board which decides whether or not a person has the right to asylum.”

Yeah, but the BBC are rewriting an Assange press-release, not a Swedish press-release.

The two women say they were not raped, and were railroaded by Swedish police. So why exactly should that have been the headline?
