Assange supporters call for his release after UN finding A group of Julian Assange supporters turned out in front of the Ecuadorian embassy on Friday after the UN Working Group on Arbitrary Detention said Assange's detention should end and that he should be able to claim compensation from Britain and Sweden, where he faces questioning over a rape allegation. Assange walked into the embassy in June 2012 to avoid the threat of arrest and extradition to Sweden, and has lived there ever since. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
