Description

Activists were seen kicking around a football in front of the Ecuadorian embassy in London late on Monday, as they were hanging around outside, eagerly anticipating WikiLeaks co-founder Julian Assange leaving the premises where he has been residing since 2012.

Police vans also carried out their nightly patrols of the vicinity.

Last week, Ecuadorian President Lenin Moreno affirmed that Assange had "repeatedly violated" the terms of his asylum.

Ecuador has denied WikiLeaks' claims that it is set to expel Assange from its London embassy, saying that the allegation was "an attempt to stain the dignity of the country."
