Ecuador's government has said it will make a decision on the fate of the Wikileaks founder, Julian Assange, shortly, BBC News reported.


Assange is at the country's embassy in London, where he is seeking asylum to prevent him being sent to Sweden to answer accusations of assault.


Police have said he faces arrest for breaching his bail conditions.


According to Ecuador's deputy foreign minister Marco Albuja, the country's president would reveal his ruling on Thursday.


"The national government is considering its position and the president will give us his instructions tomorrow," he was quoted as telling the Australian Broadcasting Corporation.


Assange, 40, whose conditions included staying at his bail address between 22:00 and 08:00 BST, is spending his second night at the embassy.


Last week he failed to reopen an appeal against his extradition to Sweden.


Assange, wanted for questioning in Sweden over rape and sexual assault allegations, denies any wrongdoing.
