Complaint
This article contained the following statement about Julian Assange: 鈥In 2010, he faced separate charges of rape and sexual assault in Sweden, which he denied. He spent seven years hiding in Ecuador's London embassy, claiming the Swedish case would lead him to be sent to the US鈥. 听A reader complained this was inaccurate because听 Mr Assange had not been formally charged with these offences. 听The ECU considered whether the item met the standards of due accuracy set out in the 成人快手 Editorial Guidelines.
Outcome
The article in its original form was inaccurate in the aspect complained of. 听In response to the complaint the article was changed to read 鈥In 2010, he was accused of rape and sexual assault in Sweden, which he denied. He spent seven years hiding in Ecuador's London embassy, claiming the Swedish case would lead him to be sent to the US鈥 and an explanatory note attached. 听In the ECU鈥檚 view this was sufficient to resolve the issue.
