Assange: 'I do not forgive or forget' after Swedish probe dropped

The Ecuadorian government is to step up efforts to allow Julian Assange to continue his asylum in its country after Sweden dropped its investigation on sex charges.

The Ecuadorian government is to step up efforts to allow Julian Assange to continue his asylum in its country after a seven-year investigation in Sweden against the WikiLeaks founder was suddenly dropped.

Director of Public Prosecutions Marianne Ny said she had decided to "discontinue" the investigation into an alleged sex offence, although it is unlikely to lead to Mr Assange immediately leaving the Ecuadorian Embassy in London, where he has been living for almost five years.
