Increasingly frustrated, Ecuador says it's time for Julian Assange to finally leave embassy
LONDON - Ecuador's president said Thursday that the British government has given written assurances that WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange would not be extradited to face the death penalty abroad if he leaves his London embassy hideout, where he's been holed up for more than six years.
In the clearest sign yet that the Australian activist might eventually face the U.S. justice system, President Lenin Moreno said he was eager to bring an end to Assange's long residency inside his country's embassy, and had been working with British authorities to make that happen.
