| Julian Assange |
Julian Assange has been released from prison in the UK after reaching a plea deal with the US Department of Justice. Under the agreement, Assange will plead guilty to a single felony charge of conspiring to unlawfully obtain and disseminate classified information, a violation under the US Espionage Act.
After being granted bail by the UK High Court, Assange left Belmarsh Prison on Monday where he had spent 1901 days. He boarded a private jet at Stansted Airport and departed the UK, en route to Bangkok. Assange is expected to appear in a US Federal Court in Saipan, a US territory in the Pacific, on Wednesday to formally enter his plea.
