Wikileaks said its founder had left a UK prison after striking a deal to plead guilty to US criminal charges.

After a years-long legal saga, Wikileaks says that founder Julian Assange has left the UK after reaching a deal with US authorities that will see him plead guilty to criminal charges and go free.

Assange, 52, was charged with conspiracy to obtain and disclose national defence information […]

Assange will spend no time in US custody and will receive credit for the time spent incarcerated in the UK.

[He] will return to Australia, according to a letter from the justice department.

    I agree.

    That’s kind of what I meant, I’m really glad that this administration took the initiative to allow him liberty again since I don’t think he deserved the charges in the first place.
