Assange lawyer welcomes request for London questioning
None
Julian Assange's Swedish lawyer welcomed prosecutors' request on Friday to interview the WikiLeaks founder in London over allegations of sexual assault, but said the process could take some time.
"We welcome and see it also as a big victory ... for Julian Assange that what we have demanded is finally going to happen," Per Samuelson, Assange's lawyer, told Reuters..
He said, however, the request was accompanied by a number of formal requirements including that both Britain and Ecuador give their permission for the interview.
"That means that could take time, despite the fact that we are in a hurry."
