Assange 'will leave embassy soon'

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has said he “will be leaving the embassy soon” during a press conference at the Ecuadorian Embassy in London where he has sought asylum for more than two years.

The 43-year-old Australian said his decision to leave was not for reasons “reported by the Murdoch press” but did not elaborate.

He has been living in the embassy as part of a bid to avoid extradition to Sweden, where there is a warrant against him over alleged sexual offences against two women.
