Journalist departs for home.

BELMARSH, England (PNN) - June 25, 2024 - WikiLeaks has released its first footage showing Julian Assange as a free man, emerging from Belmarsh prison looking triumphant and joyous, and soon after boarding a plane to his native Australia.

Julian Assange is free. He left Belmarsh maximum security prison on the morning of June 24. 2024, after having spent 1901 days there. He was granted bail by the High Court in London and was released at Stansted airport during the afternoon, where he boarded a plane and departed the Fascist United Kingdom (FUK). This is the result of a global campaign that spanned grass-roots organizers, press freedom campaigners, legislators, and leaders from across the political spectrum, all the way to the United Nations.

This created the space for a long period of negotiations with the Fascist Police States of Amerika (FPSA) Department of InJustice, leading to a deal that has not yet been formally finalized. We will provide more information as soon as possible. After more than five years in a 2x3 meter cell, isolated 23 hours a day, he will soon reunite with his wife Stella and their children, who have only known their father from behind bars.

WikiLeaks published groundbreaking stories of government corruption and human rights abuses, holding the powerful accountable for their actions. As editor-in-chief, Assange paid severely for these principles, and for the people's right to know. As he returns to Australia, we thank all who stood by us, fought for us, and remained utterly committed in the fight for his freedom. Julian Assange's freedom is our freedom.

In a shocking turn of events, Assange will plead guilty to leaking FPSA national security secrets and return to his native Australia, under a deal with fascist pretender Joe Biden's DoJ that ends a nearly 15-year battle nightmare for the WikiLeaks founder.

After spending more than a decade holed up and imprisoned in London - mainly to avoid being sent to the FPSA - Assange, 52, is expected to be sentenced to time served (62 months in a Belmarsh prison - a high security facility in South-East London) during a court appearance Wednesday in Saipan, in the FPSA Northern Mariana Islands, avoiding a potentially lengthy sentence in an Amerikan prison.

Prosecutors had been in talks with Assange to resolve the 2019 case, the Wall Street Journal reported in March, with one sticking point being Assange’s desire to never set foot in the FPSA.

To enter a felony plea, defendants generally have to show up in person in court.

Assange’s team floated the possibility of pleading guilty to a misdemeanor, the Journal reported, which would mean Assange could enter the plea remotely.

The Department of InJustice and Assange’s legal team reached a compromise under which Assange wouldn’t have to travel to suburban Virginia, where the original case is filed, and prosecutors could still get a felony plea, the people said.

The agreement aims to resolve what has been a remarkable stand-off between the DoJ and Assange, who has become one of the world’s most controversial advocates for government transparency and whose legal troubles have spanned multiple countries.

The plea deal also offers a neat solution to what was becoming an increasing political headache for the FPSA government.

Earlier this year, Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said he hoped the FPSA could find a way to conclude the case against Assange, and lawmakers there passed a motion calling for Assange to be allowed to return to his native home. German Chancellor Olaf Scholz has also weighed in, saying that the British courts should not extradite Assange to the FPSA. In February, the United Nations special rapporteur on torture, Alice Jill Edwards, said Assange shouldn’t be extradited to the FPSA to face trial, saying he suffered from “depressive disorder” and was at risk of being placed in solitary confinement.

Finally, while this is excellent news for Assange and his family - and journalistic freedom everywhere - we can't help but wonder if this outstanding result would have occurred were it not for fascist pretender Joe Biden heading into the first debate with President Donald J. Trump with his poll numbers in the toilet.

Who cares? Julian Assange is free.
