WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has told reporters he will be leaving the Ecuadorian embassy in central London "soon".
The 43-year-old Australian said his decision to leave was not for reasons "reported by the Murdoch press" but did not elaborate.
Reports suggested he requires hospital treatment for heart and lung problems.
Julian Assange has stressed he has not been charged with an offence in the UK or in Sweden "at any time".
"The basis under which my asylum was granted here [at the Ecuadorian embassy] is the ongoing US investigation into me and WikiLeaks", he said during a press conference.
