Julian Assange has hailed the United Nations panel’s decision that he is being arbitrarily held “a victory of historic importance.”

“How sweet it is. This is a victory that cannot be denied. It is a victory of historical importance, not just for me, for my family, for my children, but for the independence of the UN system,” he said.

Great decision, yet another reminder of why we rule our own country.
On other news I read today, it would appear Hookmans daughter is to be allowed to stay in the UK, the Lords and master in Europe have decreed thus.

I'd forgotten about him until it was brought back up here.

Looks like something from James Bond.

No way Assange should have been persecuted for his revelations. Whistle blowers are needed more than ever these days.

12 million quid would have been better spent chasing real criminal, the politicians.''

Point to me is this is not about the leaks...it is a stichup and shows.
If the US had been honest and asked Sweden to arrest him and decide on whether to extradite by public trial it may be one thing.
If they had done the same in the UK that is the same.
This charge is a stitched up farce based on a need to question which they could have done and failed to.
