London: Julian Assange has told a press conference in London that he will soon leave the Ecuadorian embassy that has been his home for the past two years.
He did not specify any time line for his departure from the embassy other than to say it will be not be for the reasons that “the Murdoch press and Sky News” believe.
If he was to walk out he would likely be arrested and extradited to Sweden where he faces an investigation into sexual assault allegations. He may also face repercussions from skipping police bail by entering the embassy in June 2012.

Whether or not Assange is walking out today, he certainly managed to get media attention…
18 Aug 2014
Police gathered outside the embassy on Monday amid speculation the Wikileaks founder was planning to leave. However, in a long press conference, Assange gave no indication of when he would leave the embassy, other than to say “soon”.
Assange claims he would then be at risk of being sent to the United States where a warrant awaits over his work with WikiLeaks exposing classified diplomatic and military information.
Assange’s state of health was vividly described by a Mail on Sunday interviewer on the weekend – who listed the translucent pale skin, persistent cough and dark rings under his eyes.
The Mail reported: “Assange is, according to a WikiLeaks source, suffering from the potentially life-threatening heart condition arrhythmia and has a chronic lung complaint and dangerously high blood pressure. A severe shortage of Vitamin D, the sunshine vitamin, is impacting on his general health – in the long term, it can trigger asthma and diabetes, weaken bones and increase the risk of dementia.”
The British Foreign Office had turned down Ecuador’s request to take him to hospital under diplomatic protection, the Mail said.
