BBC: Julian Assange defiant as Sweden drops rape investigation

Wikileaks founder Julian Assange has said he will not forgive and forget attempts to arrest him over rape allegations which led him to seek asylum in Ecuador's London embassy.

Hailing an "important victory", he said he was prepared for dialogue with the US and UK authorities.

Sweden said on Friday it had decided to drop its rape investigation.

Meanwhile Ecuador urged the UK to allow him safe passage out of the country.
