Julian Assange - to walk free breaking on BBC news now

A UN panel has ruled Wikileaks founder Julian Assange has been "arbitrarily detained", the BBC understands.
Mr Assange took refuge in London's Ecuadorian embassy in 2012 to avoid extradition to Sweden over sex assault claims, which he denies.
He earlier tweeted he would accept arrest if the panel ruled against him, but called for the arrest warrant to be dropped if the decision went his way.
The Met Police said he will still be held if he does leave the embassy.

"Hole" was that a freudian slip like buttet hole.

The muricans on here aint gonna give you no pin for this, they don't much care for Assange unfortunately.
I'm happy he got his ruling.

I hope he does not get assassinated...

Julian Assange, a great man, like Edward Snowden, the Wikileaks team and many other whistleblowers.

I'm happy for him :) bkdg

If i was assange i wouldnt trust them, it's a tarp!

Done.

:thumb:

Good on ya :) I happily stand corrected re pin pessimism :)

The result is non-binding.

STFU OP GO DIE IN A FIRE

Assange doesn't really pass the smell test, like Snowden but the situation with him being holed up like that is pretty messed up, unhumane etc.

I think resolving that situation would be good for the British tax payer also.

The panel decisions is not legally binding on the UK or Sweden, Clive Coleman, BBC legal affairs correspondent said.
Mr Assange will argue the decision is significant and adds considerable legal and moral force to the argument he is being arbitrarily detained, he said. But our correspondent added the UK government is likely to argue that Mr Assange's detention is "self-imposed and follows an entirely lawful process".

The UK Foreign Office has said it still had an obligation to extradite Mr Assange.

Is it obvious?

Him accepting arrest if the appeal fails? He will still be arrested if he leaves?

Ecuador wants this over. I'm sure they feel he has been unjustly persecuted but this appeal was his last chance to stay.

Right or wrong I think they will finally nab him. And yes, no doubt he will be "found" guilty whether he did it or not. Fact.

Final proof that Assange is one of them.
Real threats end up like Gaddafi.

Lol.STFU.There is No Isis Beeeotch!

I understand your concern. He might leak the hoorible crime committed agains aborgenes people by the convict.

The bloody duffers in the Met' Police are going to grab Assange and 'stitch-him-up' for breaking the bloody law!
