Julian Assange Freed From UK Jail, Strikes Guilty Plea Deal With US In WikiLeaks Espionage Case

Wikileaks founder Julian Assange was released from a high-security prison in the UK on June 24 and has left the country. The Australian whistleblower reached a landmark plea deal with US that brought an end to his 14-year long legal drama.
"Julian Assange is free," WikiLeaks wrote on X, as the 52-year-old walked out of prison after being detained in Britain for five years as he fought extradition to the US.
Assange left the Belmarsh prison before being bailed by the UK High Court and boarding a flight out of the country, Wikileaks said.

[@esthermokhali2555]

Thanks to Australia's Primenister for standing up and getting involved in Assanges release. Previous ones never bothered at all. Also, gratitude goes to the global movement, and individuals, including some politicians who send petitions and participate in protest and even support every single trial/court that took place over years. God heard our prayers. Long live Julian Assange, for Standing up for Truth.😅❤

How do you know that now I'm not saying that he did but how do you know he didn't did you hang out with this person are you a personal friend with him do you spend time with him know you're just a guy on the web like me there could be more going on here than we really know

[@timeisoverjesusiscoming6996]

@@KarlSovek it is a matter of investigation and my ability to know a character from certain speaches and reactions and way of thinking i discovered he can't do it....and his wife said it over and over again that it was a form of spoiling his reputation in the public eye It was a planned attack on him A very old trick to bring somebody down .....greetings and blessings

[@MrYossarianuk]

@@evolution405 Biden set him free. Trump didn't

[@renskeconnell8038]

Although after a long ordeal I don't begrudge him his freedom but HOW MANY PEOPLE (undercover/spies) lost their lives or freedom?? I think that he should disappear into faraway hinterlands and never, ever be heard of again. That would earn him my respect.

[@annecrawford1381]

AT Last the man who has spent years in a high security prison because the US took so long to make their case, and British justice accepted the long period. time. was poor but adequate when he was granted an appeal. His family, worked tirelessly for his release. They created a movement and worked very hard at gaining support from the people from around the world. GREAT NEWS Julian Assange is FREE

[@janethildaraman2662]

I am from India and was closely watching what was happening to Julian Assange and prayed to God for his release.My happiness knows no bounds.I thank God .

The next chapter should be to put the real criminals behind bars . Starting with a few lawyers and politicians.

How fare they put a felony on him!! He stole nothing,but i too would agree to it to get out of 5 years solitary confinement,praise Jesus for answering our prayers!!💙

[@agniksen8507]

He should have escaped to Russia like his buddy Edward Snowden.

[@Seriously742]

It’s the system

[@helenasplace]

Just help me out here, how is it espionage when the video revealed war crimes?

[@chaosland5325]

Just hope Assange will flee to Russia. That will be a deal breaker and a good opportunity for him to save his life.

[@PracticeZero-qy4lz]

And yet all the western citizens proclaim humanitarian law 😂😂😂

[@FidelCastro404]

Shame on Australia for abandoning him

[@universal5]

Everybody knows what the prosecutors did, regardless of what the "legal" process states.

[@user-wj5sc4iz6c]

This whole saga is a stain on Australia… Australia should have stood up for its citizen and defied their US masters. Pathetic.

[@AdMBandLeader]

Actually this man has been made yet another patsy by the ds. Sort of a controlled opposition.

[@danielmartin7838]

They only made the deal because Trump said he’d let him go. I personally feel Assange should spend the rest of his life in prison
