Despite Julian Assange being given the support of the United Nations, whose recent report condemned the U.K. and Sweden for Assange's "arbitrary detention," a Swedish prosecutor has declared that she would still continue to pursue an interrogation of the WikiLeaks founder, according to DW News.
In a statement on Tuesday, Marianne Ny, one of Sweden's most prominent prosecutors, stated that the United Nations' report does not change anything. If any, she is more intent to bring him in for questioning over charges of rape which Assange allegedly committed back in 2010.
"Concerning the report that was issued last week, I would like to state that it does not change my earlier assessments in the investigation," the prosecutor said, according to The Local.
With regards to Ny's efforts, the Swedish prosecution authority stated that that the sharp-witted prosecutor is working on a new application to interview Assange in Ecuador's embassy in London.
The WikiLeaks founder had previously stated that he was open to a dialogue with investigators, provided that the interviews were done in the Latin American country's embassy in London, which had been his home for the past four years, reported India News.
The 44-year-old Assange had refused to leave the embassy grounds to go to Sweden, under fear of deportation to the United States, where he is wanted for releasing about 500,000 sensitive military files through his site, WikiLeaks.
