        @Webbyred What would you do after 550 days in house arrest that was concluded as arbitrary detention? Accept it? @BBCBreaking @BBCNews

        @BBCBreaking @BBCNews Aha! The world of egregious UN Doublespeak. #Assange is not being "detained". He is evading the long arm of the law.

        @BobDuffield Last status in UK was detained, this detention went on for a total of 550 days. No doublespeak at all. @BBCBreaking @BBCNews

        @changeson This is not "detained". #Assange can walk out of the embassy today if he so chooses.To face criminal allegations. There's the rub

        @BobDuffield Note, the "was" detained arbitrarily. With political reasons and with Sweden breaking law before, I would do the exact same.

        @Ankian4 First 10 days in prison and then house arrest 550 days. I call that prison. That is arbitrary detention. @BBCBreaking @BBCNews

        @changeson @BBCBreaking @BBCNews He made that choice. He could have gone to Sweden and answered questions needed to be answered.
