The UN has called for an end to Julian Assange's detention in the Ecuadorian Embassy in London, suggesting he deserves compensation. The UK dismissed this as ridiculous, stating Assange is there voluntarily to avoid arrest. Sweden also disagreed, claiming the UN has no right to interfere in ongoing investigations. Assange offered to surrender if the UN ruling was against him, but urged authorities to let him leave if it was in his favor. He faces allegations of sexual offenses in Sweden and fears extradition to the US for leaking diplomatic documents. Assange has been in the embassy since 2012.
