quote [ In a statement issued by WikiLeaks on Twitter, Assange said: “Should the UN announce tomorrow that I have lost my case against the United Kingdom and Sweden, I shall exit the embassy at noon on Friday to accept arrest by British police as there is no meaningful prospect of further appeal. ]
And there I thought he would be waiting for a US government that offers him a deal. Or did something in Sweden change drastically and I didn't hear about it?
I suppose a few years as a guest in a single building can feel like prison, even if that building is the embassy of a country sympathetic to you. At the very least, it will set things in motion again, after years of stalemate.
