WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange is finally being questioned by prosecutors more than six years after he was first accused of rape in Sweden.

Ingrid Isgren, Sweden's deputy chief prosecutor, arrived at the Ecuadorian Embassy this morning, according to The Guardian, ending a stalemate which began in 2012 when the South American nation offered Assange political asylum on the grounds that he faced political persecution from the United States.

Assange claims that the rape accusations, which he denies, are part of a plot to extradite him to the United States that would swing into action were he to answer prosecutors' questions in the Scandinavian country.

The interview suggests some forward movement is being made in the diplomatic deadlock between Ecuador and Sweden regarding the arrangements for Swedish prosecutors to talk to Assange in the embassy.

  Hidin' somewhere in the night

  Streetlight, people
  Ohh-Ohhh-Ohhhhhhhh

  Don't Stop Believin'
  Hold on to the feelin'
  Streetlight, people
  Ohh-Ohhh-Ohhhhhhhh

  Don't stop believin'
  Hold on
  Streetlight, people
  Ohh-Ohhh-Ohhhhhhhh

  Don't stop believin'
