Julian Assange: I will hand myself into police if UN rules against me

Julian Assange has said he will hand himself over to police for arrest on Friday if a UN working party rules that he has not been unlawfully detained.

The Metropolitan Police have said they will make “every effort” to arrest the WikiLeaks founder should he honour his word and leave the Ecuadorian embassy in London where he has been in self-imposed confinement for more than three years.
