First Footage of Julian Assange Since Plea Released by WikiLeaks
By Sky News Australia
The first footage of Julian Assange since he left Belmarsh maximum security prison has been released by WikiLeaks.
Mr Assange has agreed to enter a plea deal with the Biden administration that would allow him to avoid prison in the United States, according to newly filed federal court documents.
Under the new terms, the Justice Department will seek a 62-month sentence, which is equal to the amount of time Assange has already served in prison in London while fighting his extradition to the US.
The deal would then credit that time served, allowing Assange to immediately return to Australia.

Sad day for journalism, when a journalist plead guilty for simply uncovering the corruption.
@andyhelliwell4955
Fantastic news, so glad he is out of that horrible prison, where he should never have been.
@markbaker8607
a plea deal for exposing how terrible war is
@thisvagabondlife7132
The happiest news I’ve heard in a very long time. Respect to Julian for his unwavering integrity.
@Masi.J5
Long live the resistant of journalist who expose war crimes and corruption.
@TokyoShemp
Julian pled guilty to stop being tortured by the illegitimate, criminal Five Eyes.
@MrRourk
Unbelievable
Never thought they would let go of him. It has been so many years. So glad he is out. Enjoy Freedom Julian!

WHEN REPORTING A MURDER BECOMES A CRIME, PUNISHABLE BY IMPRISONMENT, THEN YOU KNOW THE SYSTEM IS BROKEN AND CORRUPT.
@miskakerdez3750
Fantastic news! So glad that Julian is finally freed and able to go home to his wife and family. Journalism and truth telling are not crimes. Obscene that he was ever imprisoned for revealing the war crimes of powerful actors.

Poor Assange. Good work by the Australian folk to get him back. Don’t trust your government, they do not work for you.
@FunnyVideosImedia
He should move to another country… Australia is not safe
@darkfader486
And only 12 years of his life sacrificed for truth give Snowden the same deal
