Wikileaks founder Julian Assange says he will accept arrest by
British police if a U.N. working group on arbitrary detention decides
that the three years he has spent holed up in the Ecuadorean Embassy
does not amount to illegal detention.

Writing on Wikileaks Twitter
account on Wednesday night, Assange said if the UN finds he has lost
his case against the United Kingdom and Sweden then he will turn himself
into police at noon on Friday.
"However, should I prevail and the
state parties be found to have acted unlawfully, I expect the immediate
return of my passport and the termination of further attempts to arrest
me," Assange added.
Assange took refuge in Ecuador's British
embassy to avoid extradition to Sweden where two women have accused him
of sexual assault.
