epa05144912 WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange (C) speaks to the media from a balcony of the Ecuadorian Embassy in London, Britain, 05 February 2016. Assange hailed a UN panel's finding that he is under arbitrary detention on 05 February, urging Britain and Sweden to 'implement the decision.' Britain and Sweden have dismissed the ruling by the UN Working Group on Arbitrary Detention, a panel of independent legal scholars, that the Australian activist had been subject to arbitrary detention since his arrest in London in 2010 on Swedish allegations of rape and sexual harassment. Although the ruling is legally binding, the panel has no power to enforce it, and their decision was quickly dismissed by Britain and Sweden. EPA/FACUNDO ARRIZABALAGA
