Ecuador has set an October 17 date for the questioning of Julian Assange in a Swedish rape investigation.

Key points:

Questioning to be conducted by Ecuadorian prosecutor
Sweden to decide whether to overturn arrest warrant
Assange says stay at embassy equals arbitrary detention
The move could end a four-year deadlock ever since the WikiLeaks founder took refuge in Ecuador’s London embassy.

Swedish prosecutors said the questioning will be conducted by an Ecuadorian prosecutor.

Swedish chief prosecutor Ingrid Isgren and a police investigator will be allowed to be present to ask questions through the Ecuadorian prosecutor, who will later report the findings to Sweden.

“After the report, the Swedish prosecutor will take a view on the continuing of the investigation,” Swedish prosecutors said in a statement.

Swedish authorities want to question Mr Assange, 45, over allegations that he committed rape in 2010.

Mr Assange denies the allegations.

Even if Sweden drops the investigation, Mr Assange is likely to be arrested for breaching bail conditions in Britain.
