Julian Assange Freed After Plea Deal with US Justice

Julian Assange, the founder of WikiLeaks, has been released from high-security detention in London after reaching a plea agreement with the United States justice system. Assange, who had been incarcerated for five years, is now free and has left the United Kingdom. The deal involved Assange admitting to a conspiracy to obtain and disclose national defense information. This development marks the end of a long legal battle for Assange, who had been fighting extradition to the US, where he faced charges related to the publication of classified documents. Assange's release has been celebrated by his supporters and family, who have described the ordeal as a significant sacrifice for the cause of press freedom and transparency.
