I don't understand why he announces he's about to move. He should have left without a fuss, now there will be people looking for him.

He craves for attention. This guy probably wanted to get arrested.

You don't stay two years without going out, to want to be arrested. I guess he's looking for support, maybe hundreds of people to gather in front of the embassy when he'll go out, with the hope to escape the police in the crowd?

Most people think Assange did the right thing. There would not be a fair trial in Sweden nor the US.
After all, look at what happened to Bradley Manning. Secret courts, secret laws...
Meanwhile the UK police wastes millions of pounds watching an embassy (an utterly useless project) - and of course, there is financial crisis Roll Eyes

Speaking about fair trials.. (there never has been a trial)

Julian Assange will not leave embassy until assured there will be no US extradition

http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2014/08/19/julian-assange-will-not-leave-embassy-until-assured-there-will-be-no-us-extradition/

"WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange will not leave the Ecuador embassy in London until it is guaranteed he will avoid extradition to the United States, his lawyer said Tuesday.

The Australian, who has been holed up in the building for two years, indicated on Monday he would leave the compound “soon” amid reports that he was suffering from a heart condition and other ailments.

His lawyer Jennifer Robinson admitted to the Australian Broadcasting Corporation that being cooped up had significantly impacted the 43-year-old’s health, but said it was difficult to put a timeline on when he would leave.

“(He will leave) as soon as conditions can be negotiated that allow Julian to leave the embassy while his political asylum, to protect him from the risk of extradition to the US, is respected,” she said.

“And we haven’t seen that happen yet".”

there are many ways to take care of vitamin d deficiency, aren't there? quite a weird claim. can't they also send an ecuadorian doctor to him for a visit?

Not really that weird after being stuck in a building for two years. You want to produce the vitamin D naturally.

It also states he may have heart and lung problems. It could just be a reason for him to move locations as well.

Can't be too healthy being stuck inside for 2 years, not sure what his plan is but I'm fairly sure as soon as he steps outside he'll be arrested.

Always imagined he'd try and do a runner...

LONDON — WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange announced Monday that after spending two years in the Embassy of Ecuador in London he will "soon" leave the diplomatic safe harbor.

He made the comments during a joint press conference with Ecuador's Foreign Minister Ricardo Patino. Assange did not elaborate on the timing or address whether an impasse over his potential extradition had been resolved.

It was suggested in the British press over the weekend that Assange may need hospital treatment for a heart defect and lung condition and that any move could be to remedy those suspected health problems.

However, Assange refused to be drawn on those specific points Monday, saying only that when he does leave it will "probably not" be for the reasons reported on.
