Assange is released in the UK after reaching an agreement with the US, 06.25.2024.

The Australian activist and journalist Julian Assange left the maximum security prison of Belmarsh, near London, on the morning of June 24, after having spent 1,901 days there, the WikiLeaks platform reported on its X social network account.

"The High Court in London granted him bail and he was released at Stansted Airport during the afternoon, where he boarded a plane and departed from the United Kingdom,” the platform where thousands of classified US documents were published detailed, which is why Assange has been persecuted for years by Washington.

WikiLeaks confirmed that the Australian activist's defense reached an agreement with the US Department of Justice, which has not yet been completely closed.

“After more than five years in a 2x3 meter cell, isolated 23 hours a day, he will soon be reunited with his wife Stella Assange and their children, who have only known their father behind bars,” the platform founded by Assange reported.

According to NBC, the WikiLeaks founder plans to plead guilty as part of a deal with the US Department of Justice that would allow him to be released after spending five years in a British prison.

Media outlets such as CNN point out that US prosecutors will now request a 62-month sentence in the United States, that is, the five years Assange has already spent in Belmarsh prison, which would allow the activist to return to Australia with his family.

According to WikiLeaks, the freedom of the journalist and activist is the result of a global campaign that included grassroots organizers, press freedom advocates, legislators and leaders from across the political spectrum, all the way to the United Nations.

WikiLeaks published innovative stories about government corruption and human rights abuses, holding various governments and leaders of different countries accountable for their actions, recalled the platform founded in 2006.

"As editor-in-chief, Julian paid severely for these principles and for the people's right to know," WikiLeaks said, thanking everyone who supported, fought and remained fully committed to the struggle for the activist's freedom.

"Julian is free! There are no words to express our immense gratitude to you, yes, you, who mobilized for years and years to make this a reality. Thank you," said Stella Assange, the journalist's wife, in a post on social networks, who accompanied her message with a video in which the Australian activist is seen getting on a plane.

Assange, 52, who is ill, was accused in May 2019 of conspiring with Chelsea Manning to obtain classified documents and publish them on his WikiLeaks platform. He is formally accused of disseminating classified information of the United States Government, for which he could have been sentenced to 175 years in prison.

"Assange's actions entailed grave harm to U.S. national security for the benefit of our adversaries and put the named, unredacted human sources at serious and imminent risk of serious physical harm and/or arbitrary detention," the U.S. Justice Department said at the time.

However, last March, sources close to the case told The Wall Street Journal that the 18 charges facing the Australian for disclosing classified information could be downgraded to improper manipulation of classified information, a crime considered a minor in the US criminal code.

The WikiLeaks founder was detained at the Ecuadorian Embassy in London in April 2019, after the government of that Latin American country withdrew his asylum.
