Investigation into Julian Assange case nears conclusion

The outcome of a UN investigation into the case of Julian Assange is set to be revealed and could rule that the WikiLeaks founder is being detained illegally.

Mr Assange has been living in the Ecuadorian embassy in London for more than three years and has been granted political asylum by the Ecuador government.

He is wanted for questioning in Sweden over one sex assault allegation, which he has always denied.
