As the confinement in the Embassy is confinement. And he's been unjustly confined for a longer period than the maximum penalty for rape in Sweden. That's valid if Sweden locked him in the Ecuador Embassy. He went there to shield himself. Personally I think (my opinion, anyway) that the rape charges were work of the CIA, but that's another story.
