THE DAILY TELEGRAPH: The Ecuadorean ambassador is expected to fly to her nation's capital this weekend for talks on WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange's request for asylum.
Mr Assange has been at the Ecuadorean embassy in London since Tuesday and is seeking political asylum in the country to prevent him being extradited to Sweden.
The 40-year-old Australian faces allegations of sex crimes in the Scandinavian country, which he denies.
Ecuadorean ambassador to Britain Anna Alban, who met with the British government on Wednesday morning, is due to fly back to her home country to discuss the matter in Quito.
A spokesman at the embassy would not officially confirm the visit "until she is on the plane". » | Saturday, June 23, 2012
