Assange's 'Victory Of Historical Importance'

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has claimed a "victory of historical importance" after a UN panel ruled his stay in a London embassy amounts to "arbitrary detention". Mr Assange gave a statement from the balcony of the Ecuadorian Embassy in west London, where he has been holed up since June 2012, having been granted political asylum. The UK has maintained it will arrest the 44-year-old Australian should he leave the embassy - and then extradite him to Sweden, where he faces a rape claim.
