  According to this Reuters article [0], the Swedish prosecutor didn't speak with Assange directly. She spoke with an Ecuadorian prosecutor, who (likely) relayed questions to Assange. This leaves open the question if she even spoke to Assange, or if he is even at the embassy. This is the relevant section: > Swedish Chief Prosecutor Ingrid Isgren spent around four hours in the embassy, where she posed questions through an Ecuadorian prosecutor, before leaving without making comment. Re his lawyer, he could not attend the interview because the Ecuadorian embassy barred him from attending. > Samuelson, Assange's Swedish lawyer, said he had been barred from the meeting. "Ecuador refuses to let me in and insists that the questioning will continue without my presence, against my client's wishes to have me there," he told Reuters. In summary of the whole situation, what's making people worried is that Jullian Assange has not been publically seen, nor has he shared a signed message, in over a month.

    The article you reference does not say anywhere that Assange was not present. Also, you need a lot of supporting evidence to claim that Assange's lawyer (Jennifer Robinson) would a) lie about her client b) speak without his permission and/or c) go through this whole process without having access or speaking to her client for the last month That is not how lawyers operate (and Assange is especially careful when selecting his representatives). Or do you think she has been coerced? Edit: And Assange has more than one lawyer. His Swedish lawyer was the one not present.
