Embassy if the US government drops its investigation to him.
Julian Assange has stated that he will not even consider leaving the embassy located in London
Unless the US gov drops its investigation into WikiLeaks
Assange has been sheltering there since june in his attempt to avoid extradition to Sweden to face allegations of rape. He fears he may end up being sent to the United States to face interrogation over the website he founded.
In an interview inside of the embassy with CNN, Julian stated that the standoff could end if the US government were to drop its investigation. "It's an immoral ivestigation," he said "It breaches the first amendment, it breaches all the principles that the US government says it stands for and it absolutely breaches the principles the founding fathers stood for and which most of the US people believe in."
He had broken hes bail conditions in June when he took refuge in the embassy after he lost a supreme court challenge to the validity of the European arrest warrant that demanded he return to Sweden for questioning. He was supposed to have been sent within days when he took residence in the diplomatic mission having been granted asylum.
His lawyers and the Eucuadorean government contend that travelling to Sweden could lead to hes extradition to the US, where he may face charges over WikiLeaks' publication of thousands of US diplomatic documents.
A US soldier Bradley Manning is two years into his military solitary confinement for allegedly leaking hundreds of thousands of US state secrets, many of which ended up on the WikiLeaks website. He is currently awaiting trial and could be sentenced to life in prison if found guilty.
"There's an attempt to extradite me without charge and without evidence, allegedly for the purpose of questioning," said
