The move leaves Mr. Assange with protection from arrest only on Ecuadorean territory, meaning he could only leave the embassy for Ecuador with British cooperation.

Or in a laundry van with diplomatic plates, driven by the ambassador, up the ramp of an Ecuadorian cargo plane …
Which has not been fuelled since landing.
Apparently the Swedish are a bit annoyed with the Ecuador’s comments
“The Swedish government reacted angrily to Mr Patino’s suggestion that Mr Assange would not be treated fairly by its justice system, summoning Ecuador’s ambassador to explain.”
I’m sure Sweden is a despotic state compared to the liberal and far sighted Ecuadorian one…..

Let him live forever in their embassy. It is as good as prison, plus saves us, Sweden, and the U.K. the expense of trying and imprisoning him. Maybe they’ll have him clean toilets and scrub floors.
