WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has ended his years-long legal battle by accepting a plea deal, according to the Bitfinex Blog. This resolution prevented his extradition to the United States and resulted in his immediate release from custody.

A look back at the turbulent WikiLeaks saga

Founded by Julian Assange in 2006, WikiLeaks aimed to provide a safe platform for whistleblowers to expose unethical behavior and human rights violations. The organization gained global attention in 2010 after releasing classified U.S. military documents and diplomatic cables, including the infamous “Collateral Murder” video. The video depicts the 2007 U.S. helicopter attack in Baghdad, sparking worldwide outrage and significantly influencing public opinion about U.S. military action.

The U.S. government and its allies responded with drastic measures, including a financial blockade. PaypalVisa, MasterCard. In response, WikiLeaks adopted Bitcoin in 2011, allowing it to bypass traditional financial channels and maintain its operations. This move not only preserved WikiLeaks’ activities, but also highlighted Bitcoin’s potential as a censorship-resistant financial tool.

The tide turns against Asanji and the witch hunt begins

Assange’s personal ordeal deepened in late 2010 when Swedish authorities issued a warrant for his arrest on charges of sexual misconduct. Assange and his supporters have claimed the charges are politically motivated to discredit him and facilitate his extradition to the United States. In 2012, Assange sought asylum at the Ecuadorian embassy in London, where he remained for nearly seven years.

In 2019, Ecuador revoked Assange’s asylum, which led to his arrest by British authorities. He was sentenced to 50 weeks in prison for breaching his bail conditions and was charged with additional charges by the United States, including conspiracy to commit computer intrusion and multiple charges under the Espionage Act. Human rights groups and free speech advocates have condemned the charges as a threat to press freedom.

Welcome home Mr. Assange! Check out Plea Deal & Release

Assange’s plea agreement marks a major turning point in his long legal saga. As part of a deal with the U.S. Justice Department, he agreed to plead guilty to conspiracy to illegally obtain and distribute classified national defense information. The plea agreement allowed him to receive credit for time already served in a British prison, allowing for his immediate release.

The agreement stipulates that Assange will be sentenced to 62 months, which is the same amount of time he has already been incarcerated, and that he will not be imprisoned in the United States for any further time. The proceedings were held in a U.S. federal court in the Northern Mariana Islands, over Assange’s objection to travel to the U.S. mainland. Following the court’s approval of the plea deal, Assange was released from the maximum-security Belmarsh Prison in the U.K. and is now a free man.

The plea agreement resolves Asanji’s legal battle, ending more than a decade of bitter legal battles and international controversy. As Assange prepares to return to normal life in Australia, his case still resonates, especially when it comes to freedom of speech and the treatment of his accusers. The implications of disclosing state secrets and balancing national security with the public’s right to know remain important issues highlighted in Asanji’s journey.
