(MENAFN) The Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) said a United Nations expert plans to meet WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange at the Ecuadoran Embassy in London later this month, after receiving complaints of privacy violations.



According to the office, this move was made after the expert received two separate complaints made by Assange and Ecuador's President Lenin Moreno.



The Human Rights Council special rapporteur on the right to privacy said the meeting would "help determine if there exists a prima facie case of violation of privacy that warrants further investigation."



He also said that he was requesting more information from the Ecuadorian government on a complaint by the country's president that his privacy had been violated by the publication of personal data.
