WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has released his testimony given to prosecutors at his Ecuadorean Embassy in London, saying he is "entirely innocent" of a Swedish rape allegation.

As part of a 19-page statement, the Australian details his account of what he calls consensual sex with a woman known as S-W in Sweden in 2010 and denies claims she was asleep at the time.

The 45-year-old Australian says he's been subjected to "six years of unlawful, politicised detention without charge" and he's released the testimony so people can "know the truth about how abusive this process has been".
