Posted • June 25, 2024: WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange on Monday walked out of the UK's Belmarsh maximum security prison after having spent 1,901 days there. His freedom came after he was due to plead guilty this week to violating the US espionage law. The 52-year-old, who became the face for pro-free speech activism, agreed to plead guilty to a single criminal count of conspiring to disclose classified US national defence documents. This, according to WikiLeaks, led to a deal that ended his improvement in Britain and allowed him to return home to Australia. WikiLeaks wrote on X: After more than five years in a 2×3 metre cell, isolated 23 hours a day, he will soon reunite with his wife Stella Assange, and their children, who have only known their father from behind bars. -- WikiLeaks published groundbreaking stories of government corruption and human rights abuses, holding the powerful accountable for their actions. As editor-in-chief, Julian paid severely for these principles, and for the people’s right to know.
