The 42-year-old walked into the embassy in June 2012 in an effort to avoid extradition to Sweden and has been there ever since. <\/p>\n
He allegedly sexually assaulted two women in Stockholm, but Mr Assange fears he that if he goes to Sweden he will be extradited to America after he enraged the White House by releasing thousands of its secrets in 2010. <\/p>\n
Hes learned a lot - hes certainly a different person Vaughan Smith, friend of Julian Assange<\/p>\n
On Wednesday, Mr Assange was due to mark his two years in the embassy with a conference call to journalists. <\/p>\n
Journalist Vaughan Smith, who gave refuge to Assange in 2010, says the Wikileaks website founder is fine but longs for freedom. <\/p>\n
He said: \"I went to see him six weeks ago, and he seemed absolutely normal. <\/p>\n
\"Its like hes in a prison cell, but a prison cell with the internet. <\/p>\n
\"He craves freedom, he cant buy his own food and he would love to have the chance to have a normal walk in the fresh air. <\/p>\n
\"Hes learned a lot - hes certainly a different person.\" <\/p>\n
US military secrets revealed by Assange include evidence that a US military helicopter crew in Iraq gunned down a dozen people in July 2007 after falsely claiming to have been shot at. <\/p>\n
