Wikileaks founder Julian Assange has hinted that he may leave the Ecuadorian embassy in London very "soon."
He however, refused to mention how soon it would be. Wikileaks spokesman Kristinn Hrafnsson too confirmed that he would be leaving the embassy but added that the plan is just as it was before and Assange would leave only when the United Kingdom decides to lift the siege, reported the BBC.
Two women had pressed charges of sexual assault against Assange in 2010 in Sweden and he is wanted for questioning in the case. He however, had denied the allegations in June 2012 after the U.K Supreme Court dismissed his plea to block his extradition and sought shelter in the Ecuadorian embassy.
The police have maintained a round-the-clock surveillance outside the building in London at a cost of 6.4 million pounds and will arrest him as soon as he leaves the embassy.
