Wikileaks Founder Julian Assange FREED After Five Years in Prison..

Julian Assange leaves UK after being freed in US plea deal

BBC 25 JUN 2024

WikiLeaks has published a video of Julian Assange boarding a flight. According to a tweet, Assange boarded a flight at London airport at 5PM on Monday.

After a years-long legal saga, Wikileaks says that founder Julian Assange has left the UK after reaching a deal with US authorities that will see him plead guilty to criminal charges and go free.

Assange, 52, was charged with conspiracy to obtain and disclose national defence information.

For years, the US has argued that the Wikileaks files - which disclosed information about the Iraq and Afghanistan wars - endangered lives.

Assange spent the last five years in a British prison, from where he was fighting extradition to the US.

According to the BBC, Assange will spend no time in US custody and will receive credit for the time spent incarcerated in the UK.

After the ruling, his wife Stella told reporters and supporters that the Biden administration "should distance itself from this shameful prosecution".

US prosecutors had originally wanted to try the Wikileaks founder on 18 counts - mostly under the Espionage Act - over the release of confidential US military records and diplomatic messages related to the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.

Wikileaks, which Assange founded in 2006, claims to have published over 10 million documents in what the US government later described as "one of the largest compromises of classified information in the history of the United States".

In 2010, the website published a video from a US military helicopter which showed more than a dozen Iraqi civilians, including two Reuters news reporters, being killed in Baghdad.

One of Assange's most well-known collaborators, US Army intelligence analyst Chelsea Manning, was sentenced to 35 years in prison before then-president Barack Obama commuted her sentence in 2017.

Assange will return to Australia, according to a letter from the justice department.
