Britain 'determined' to deport Assange: Foreign Office
LONDON: Britain on Wednesday said it was "determined" to extradite Julian Assange to Sweden to face sexual assault claims as Ecuador said it would reveal its decision over the WikiLeaks founder's asylum claim on Thursday.

"The UK has a legal obligation to extradite Mr Assange to Sweden to face questioning over allegations of sexual offences and we remain determined to fulfil this obligation," said a Foreign Office spokesman. (AFP)
