'LONDON -- A United Nations human rights panel has sided with WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange in his long-running battle with Swedish and British authorities, saying he should be allowed to walk free immediately and compensated for the years he has lost.
The UN Working Group on Arbitrary Detention, which falls under the offices of the UN human rights chief, said Assange has been "arbitrarily detained" by Britain and Sweden since December 2010, when he was first sought for questioning on allegations of sexual misconduct.
The panel's recommendation was immediately rejected by Swedish and British officials who said Assange's legal situation is unchanged. He remains in the Embassy of Ecuador in London, where he has been holed up for more than three years ago.'

Thoughts?
 
My thoughts?

I have no idea if he is guilty of the crimes he has been accused of in Sweden.

But I do not agree with the way he has been treated by the British and I applaud the UN decision.

Me neither.

But I do know that spy agencies all over this planet have always used sex against their adversaries.

I would not be a bit surprised if that's what has happened in this case. We may never know or years from now it might all come out.

What exactly do you not agree with?
Do you think they should just ignore the fact that he had a warrant out for his arrest?
