Truly courageous of Assange to to write that "Should the U.N. announce tomorrow that I have lost my case against the United Kingdom and Sweden, I shall exit the embassy at noon on Friday to accept arrest by British police as there is no meaningful prospect of further appeal," at the same time as the BBC is reporting that they ruled for him.


Assange made his statement at 3 AM GMT, when did BBC leak this?


Did they leak it to the BBC or to Assange first?


AFAIK only the state parties and members of the panel had access to the info, so most likely source of the leak is UK govt.

Leaking it to the BBC (UK state media) sort of discredits the whole process and Assanges statement, so that might be motivation enough for someone.
