Julian Assange has predicted that he will remain inside an embassy in London for "six to 12 months".

The Wikileaks founder is in Ecuador's embassy, fighting extradition to Sweden over sexual assault claims.

In a interview broadcast in Ecuador, Mr Assange said the Swedish authorities dropping the case against him is "the most likely scenario".

But Foreign Secretary William Hague has said there is "no solution in sight" to resolving Mr Assange's extradition row.

Ex-computer hacker Mr Assange's Wikileaks website has published leaked sensitive diplomatic cables involving various countries, including the US.

He has been inside the embassy since June and says he fears being passed on to authorities in the US if extradited to Sweden. Ecuador has granted asylum to Mr Assange.

The FCO says the UK has a legal obligation to extradite him to Sweden, and he will be arrested if he leaves the embassy.

Because the charge is a complete farce (the real charge isn't rape and all he's accused of doing is having consensual sex with a broken condom, rape laws in Sweden are weird and one of the females involved has ties to the CIA) and him leaving the embassy would all but guarantee being black bagged and sent to Guantanamo. His fear isn't the rape charge, his fear is the US government abducting him and locking him in a hole for the rest of his life.
