A tweet today on the Wikileaks Twitter account said: "We will release a statement tomorrow about Assange."

The group, set up to make confidential government information public, dispelled the conspiracy theories by confirming Mr Assange is safe, but remained tight lipped about the nature of tomorrow's statement.

The tweet added:"Our editor is safe and still in full command despite reduced communications with staff."

A series of theories emerged about Assange's safety after his internet access was cut off by the Ecuardorian embassy where he remains holed up.
