Julian Assange is free. He has admitted guilt.

WikiLeaks informs that its founder, Julian Assange, has been released on bail from a prison in the UK and is in the process of returning to Australia. Court documents filed by the US Department of Justice indicate that he has accepted an agreement with Washington, under which the journalist will plead guilty to offenses under the espionage law.Wikileaks issued the following statement on X:"Julian Assange is free. He left the high-security prison of Belmarsh in the morning of June 24, after spending 1901 days there. The High Court in London granted him bail and he was released at Stansted Airport in the afternoon, where he boarded a plane and left the UK."This is the result of a global campaign that involved grassroots organizers, press freedom activists, legislators, and leaders from across the political spectrum, up to the United Nations. This created space for lengthy negotiations with the US Department of Justice, leading to an agreement that has not yet been formally finalized. We will provide more information as soon as possible.After over five years spent in a cell measuring 2×3 meters, in isolation for 23 hours a day, he will soon reunite with his wife, Stella Assange, and his children, who only knew their father from behind bars.Court documents filed on Tuesday in the Northern Mariana Islands show that in exchange for his release, Assange will plead guilty to offenses violating the Espionage Act.NBC News reports that the journalist will first be transferred from the British prison of Belmarsh to an island nation in the Pacific. From there, he will plead guilty and be sentenced to 62 months of imprisonment, which he has already served. After the proceedings, Assange will return to Australia.The agreement to plead guilty marks the end of a decade-long saga for the journalist, which began in 2010 when he published a trove of documents provided to him by Chelsea Manning. Manning was sentenced under the espionage law to 35 years in prison, before President Obama commuted the sentence to seven years.In 2012, Assange entered the Ecuadorian embassy in London to avoid imprisonment in the US or the UK, where he remained for seven years. In 2019, the US charged him with violating the espionage law, leading to his expulsion from the embassy. In British courtrooms, Assange spent the last five years fighting Washington's extradition request.The developments were historic, as the United States had previously sought to prosecute only individuals who disclosed information, not journalists who published it. Before agreeing to plead guilty, Assange faced a potential sentence of 175 years in prison.Civil liberties groups argued that prosecuting publishers for violating the espionage law was a violation of the First Amendment. Receiving and publishing classified information is considered a standard journalistic practice.The journalist is 52 years old and suffers from multiple health issues. His supporters warned that he would not survive American prison. In 2019, Nils Melzer, then the UN Special Rapporteur on torture, said that Assange was subjected to "psychological torture."source: https://www.activistpost.com/2024/06/assange-released-from-prison-after-agreeing-to-plead-guilty-to-espionage-act-violation.html...1 - I also invite you to join the geopolitical group so you don't miss important information:https://ccfound.com/pl/groups/geopolityka-i-prorogeopolityka/1ee8640d-b97d-6cf8-b82b-a57b1764d6c5?ref=7JyRnnGr4p3V3XLiBy clicking on the link above, you will enter my group.Log in to your account, then the "Join" button will appear.After joining the group, when a new article is added, you will receive information at your email address.2 - More videos.
