Julian Assange: UN panel calls on UK and Sweden to end 'arbitrary detention' and compensate WikiLeaks founder

A United Nations panel has ruled in favour of Julian Assange and said the UK and Sweden is "arbitrarily detaining" the WikiLeaks founder.

The UN Working Group on Arbitrary Detention said called on Swedish and British authorities to end Mr Assange's “deprivation of liberty''.

Its findings were leaked by sources on Thursday but the official ruling was not released until Friday morning.
