WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has been visited by officials from the Australian High Commission.

Two officials went to the Ecuadorian Embassy in London where Mr Assange has been living for almost six years.

The Australian-born campaigner fears being extradited to the US if he leaves the embassy and being questioned about the activities of WikiLeaks.
