RT<\/a><\/b><\/p>\nThe WikiLeaks co-founder is expected to finalize his release at a court in the Northern Mariana Islands, a US territory in the Pacific <\/p>\n
WikiLeaks co-founder Julian Assange has been freed from Belmarsh maximum security prison in the UK as part of a plea deal with the US Justice Department. The activist spent five years behind bars in London while fighting extradition to the US, where he is accused of illegally obtaining and disclosing national security materials which shed light on alleged American war crimes. <\/p>\n
According to the US Department of Justice, Assange has agreed to plead guilty at a court in the Northern Mariana Islands, a US territory in the Pacific. He is expected to be sentenced to around five years, equating to the time he has already spent in the British prison, while the extradition request is likely to be dropped. After the court proceedings, Assange is expected to travel to Australia, his country of citizenship. <\/p>\n

00:23 GMT <\/b><\/span><\/p>\nAssange told the judge that he had believed that the First Amendment to the US Constitution protected him during the publication of classified material. <\/span><\/p>\n\u201dI accept it\u2019s a violation of the espionage statute,\u201d he continued. \u201cI believe the First Amendment and the Espionage Act are in contradiction with each other, but I accept that it would be difficult to win such a case given all the circumstances.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\nAssange described himself as \u201ca journalist\u201d who \u201cencouraged my source to provide information that was said to be classified.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n00:17 GMT <\/b><\/span><\/p>\nAs part of his plea agreement, Assange is required to instruct WikiLeaks to destroy classified information stored on its servers or devices, the court has heard. US prosecutors told Judge Manglona that they are satisfied that Assange has done so. It is unclear whether WikiLeaks has complied or will comply with this instruction. <\/span><\/p>\n25 June 2024 <\/span><\/b><\/p>\n23:49 GMT <\/b><\/span><\/p>\nAssange has pleaded guilty to a single count of conspiracy to obtain and disclose national defense information. Asked whether he was ready to enter a plea, Assange replied \u201cyes.\u201d Asked whether he was pleading guilty or not guilty, he responded \u201cguilty.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n23:32 GMT <\/b><\/span><\/p>\nAccording to the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, Judge Romana Manglona has entered the courtroom and Assange\u2019s hearing has begun. <\/span><\/p>\nSitting beside the WikiLeaks founder are Australian Ambassador to the US Kevin Rudd, Australian Ambassador to the UK Stephen Smith, and Assange\u2019s lawyer Jennifer Robinson. <\/span><\/p>\n22:19 GMT <\/b><\/span><\/p>\nStella Assange has shared a video of her husband arriving at the courthouse in Saipan. \u201cI watch this and think how overloaded his senses must be, walking through the press scrum after years of sensory deprivation and the four walls of his high security Belmarsh prison cell,\u201d she wrote on X. <\/span><\/p>\n21:47 GMT <\/b><\/span><\/p>\nAssange has arrived at the United States District Court for the Northern Mariana Islands in Saipan. The former WikiLeaks head showed up at the courthouse ahead of schedule and is expected to plead guilty to a single espionage charge, as per the deal struck with the US government. <\/span><\/p>\nAssange did not respond to questions from the press as he passed through a metal detector and entered the building. <\/span><\/p>\n21:38 GMT <\/b><\/span><\/p>\nFormer Pink Floyd frontman Roger Waters has congratulated Assange on his release, calling on the WikiLeaks founder to return to journalism once he is in good health. <\/span><\/p>\n\u201cYou know what I\u2019d like to see? You old mucker, I\u2019d like to see you back at work at WikiLeaks. Somebody has to pick up the cudgels and keep up the amazing, brilliant work that you did,\u201d he said in a video posted by Double Down News. <\/span><\/p>\n\u201cGood on you Julian! Thank you for the huge sacrifice you made for the rest of us,\u201d Waters concluded. <\/span><\/p>\nWaters has campaigned for Assange\u2019s release for more than a decade, visiting the Australian publisher in London\u2019s Belmarsh Prison last October. \u201cIt was emotionally very crippling,\u201d Waters said of the visit. \u201cImagine being locked up in solitary confinement for five years, particularly if you\u2019ve never committed a crime. It\u2019s beyond all imagination.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n20:24 GMT <\/b><\/span><\/p>\nAssange will leave Saipan for Australia at 12pm local time on Wednesday (2am GMT), according to a flight plan filed with authorities in the US territory and posted on the tracking site FlightAware. This timeline suggests that Assange\u2019s legal team expects his court hearing \u2013 scheduled for 9am local time \u2013 to be wrapped up quickly. <\/span><\/p>\n20:10 GMT <\/b><\/span><\/p>\nJulian Assange\u2019s charter jet has entered US airspace and will touch down in Saipan in a matter of minutes, Wikileaks has announced on social media. VistaJet flight VJT199, which left London on Monday and made a refueling stop in Bangkok on Tuesday, is the world\u2019s most-tracked airplane, according to the Flightradar24 app. <\/span><\/p>\n17:22 GMT <\/b><\/span><\/p>\nThe Free Assange Campaign has raised more than $115,000 toward the $520,000 cost of Assange\u2019s charter flight to Saipan, according to Crowdfunder. The WikiLeaks founder was not permitted to fly commercial to the US territory, and will have to reimburse the Australian government for the cost of the flight. <\/span><\/p>\nAssange took off for Saipan after a refueling stop in Bangkok on Tuesday night, and will touch down in Saipan just after 6am local time (8pm GMT), according to data from Flightradar24. <\/span><\/p>\n16:59 GMT <\/b><\/span><\/p>\nThe chief executive of the Committee to Protect Journalists, Jodie Ginsberg, hailed the news of Assange\u2019s release, saying the WikiLeaks co-founder faced a prosecution that had \u201cgrave implications for journalists and press freedom worldwide.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n\u201cWhile we welcome the end of his detention, the US\u2019 pursuit of Assange has set a harmful legal precedent by opening the way for journalists to be tried under the Espionage Act if they receive classified material from whistleblowers,\u201d Ginsberg reportedly claimed, stressing \u201cthis should never have been the case.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n16:36 GMT <\/b><\/span><\/p>\n\u201cMillions of people who have been advocating for Julian, it is almost time for them to have a drink and a celebration,\u201d Assange\u2019s brother Gabriel Shipton told Reuters. <\/span><\/p>\nShipton earlier revealed to Australia\u2019s ABC that he knew for weeks his brother was about to be released from prison in the UK. <\/span><\/p>\nSpeaking about the footage of Assange boarding the plane at Stansted Airport, Shipton said it was \u201cgreat\u201d to see his brother in broad daylight again. He added that the last time they saw each other was in the visitors room at Belmarsh Prison in the UK. <\/span><\/p>\n15:51 GMT <\/b><\/span><\/p>\nA plane with Assange on board departed Bangkok, Thailand after refueling on Tuesday, the Associated Press reports. The chartered flight from London left Don Mueang International Airport, according to the Flightradar24 plane tracking app. The WikiLeaks co-founder is reportedly on the way to Saipan, Northern Mariana Islands, a US commonwealth in the Western Pacific, to enter a plea deal with the US government. <\/span><\/p>\n14:54 GMT <\/b><\/span><\/p>\nThe International Federation of Journalists has welcomed Assange\u2019s release as a \u201csignificant victory for media freedom\u201d and \u201ca massive boost for free speech.\u201d It added that the development \u201cavoids the criminalization of the normal journalistic practices of encouraging sources to confidentially share evidence of wrongdoing and criminality.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n14:23 GMT <\/b><\/span><\/p>\nAssange\u2019s release is a \u201cwelcome surprise\u201d but is \u201clong overdue,\u201d American political commentator Jackson Hinkle has told RT. He said that the WikiLeaks co-founder had been \u201ctortured in prison not for committing crimes of his own but for exposing crimes\u201d of powerful Western leaders. <\/span><\/p>\nHinkle suggested that the US had avoided the inevitable outrage which would have followed if Assange had been extradited and jailed in America. The journalist also did not rule out that the move to free Assange may have been a bid to boost US President Joe Biden\u2019s ratings. <\/span><\/p>\n\u201cObjectively, this is one of the best things any president has done in my entire life. You have to give credit where credit is due,\u201d Hinkle said. He added, however, that the fact that Assange will have to plead guilty is \u201chorrific\u201d and sets a \u201cterrible precedent.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n13:58 GMT <\/b><\/span><\/p>\nSeveral other world leaders have reacted to Assange\u2019s release, including Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, who said: \u201cThe Statue of Liberty did not remain an empty symbol; she is alive and happy like millions in the world.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\nVenezuelan President Nicolas Maduro also congratulated Assange, describing his release as \u201cthe triumph of freedom and humanity\u2019s fight for respect for Human Rights.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n\u201cAssange is an example of courage and bravery in the battle for the truth. Justice will always prevail!\u201d he added. <\/span><\/p>\n13:39 GMT <\/b><\/span><\/p>\nFormer US Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, who held the post between 2010 and 2017, when Assange released many of his bombshell reports, said the WikiLeaks co-founder had \u201cpaid his dues,\u201d given that he spent several years in the Ecuadorian embassy and then in prison. <\/span><\/p>\nHe told CNN that he was more or less happy with the imminent deal. “Critical to this was his plea on one count of espionage. I think the law enforcement community and the intelligence community wouldn\u2019t have bought into this without that.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n13:24 GMT <\/b><\/span><\/p>\nKremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov has reacted cautiously to the news of Assange\u2019s release, saying it is necessary to know the exact conditions of the Wikileaks co-founder’s imminent plea deal with the US in order to make any conclusions. <\/span><\/p>\n12:56 GMT <\/b><\/span><\/p>\nThe plea agreement between Assange and the US was signed last Wednesday, according to the order released by the UK High Court, which granted conditional bail to the activist based on this deal. The court also noted that it is \u201canticipated that a plea will be entered and accepted on Wednesday 26 June 2024, after which the United States have undertaken to withdraw the extradition request.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n12:20 GMT <\/b><\/span><\/p>\nAustralian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese told parliament that Assange is being accompanied by the high commissioner to the UK, Stephen Smith, Australia\u2019s most senior diplomat in Britain. <\/span><\/p>\n\u201cThe Australian government has continued to provide consular assistance to Mr. Assange,\u201d he said, adding that Canberra\u2019s envoy to the US, Kevin Rudd, is \u201calso providing important assistance.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\nAlbanese added that regardless of what the general public thinks about Assange and his activities, \u201cthe case has dragged on for too long.\u201d \u201cThere is nothing to be gained by his continued incarceration and we want him brought home to Australia.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n11:48 GMT <\/b><\/span><\/p>\nStella Assange has said her husband will seek a pardon, which can only be granted by the US president, once he has pleaded guilty as part of his deal with the US Justice Department. The prosecution of the activist under the Espionage Act is a \u201cvery serious concern\u201d for journalists, she added. <\/span><\/p>\n11:26 GMT <\/b><\/span><\/p>\nThe administration of US President Joe Biden had to agree to release Assange in exchange for a guilty plea partly because it came under pressure from the Australian government, former Biden aide Tara Reade has claimed. <\/span><\/p>\nIn an interview with RT, she said the White House did not want to extradite the Australian-born activist and have a \u201cspectacle\u201d in the run-up to November\u2019s presidential election, as Assange enjoys widespread popular support. Reade said, however, that the US was still reluctant to \u201ctake responsibility\u201d for its actions, as it would not drop the charges against Assange or former NSA operative Edward Snowden, who leaked classified data. <\/span><\/p>\n10:52 GMT <\/b><\/span><\/p>\nFormer UN Special Commission weapons inspector and ex-US Marine Corps intelligence officer Scott Ritter told RT that while he is happy to see Assange\u2019s release, the outcome of the case against the activist is an \u201cabsolute defeat for free speech in America,\u201d explaining that he had to admit to a crime he had not committed. <\/span><\/p>\n\u201cThe US government won. They broke him,\u201d Ritter stated, adding that no American is immune to the same kind of persecution. <\/span><\/p>\n10:34 GMT <\/b><\/span><\/p>\nStella Assange told the BBC that one of her priorities now is to get the activist \u201chealthy again,\u201d as \u201che\u2019s been in a terrible state for five years\u201d while being held in Belmarsh maximum security prison. She added that Assange\u2019s children, who are five and seven years old, for now don\u2019t know about the imminent plea deal, because it is yet to be set in stone. <\/span><\/p>\n10:14 GMT <\/b><\/span><\/p>\nStella Assange has confirmed that her husband\u2019s plane \u2013 which she said cost $500,000 to book \u2013 has landed in Bangkok and \u201cwill soon take off again and fly into US airspace where he will appear before a US judge.\u201d The aircraft is scheduled to land in Saipan, Northern Mariana Islands, at 6am local time (8pm GMT), according to the Flightradar website.<\/span><\/p>\n
<\/span><\/p>\n09:24 GMT <\/b><\/p>\nSpeaking to the BBC, Stella Assange has said her husband and the US Justice Department have reached \u201can agreement in principle,\u201d which has to be formally signed by the judge in the Northern Mariana Islands. <\/p>\n
09:01 GMT <\/b><\/p>\n
Former US Vice President Mike Pence, who served in the Trump administration, has blasted the plea agreement, claiming that Assange \u201cendangered the lives of our troops in a time of war and should have been prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.\u201d <\/p>\n
Pence hit out at the Biden administration, accusing it of \u201ca miscarriage of justice\u201d and of dishonoring US service members and their families. <\/p>\n
08:38 GMT <\/b><\/p>\n
US presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr has welcomed the freeing of Assange. However, he deplored that the activist had to agree to a guilty plea. <\/p>\n
This \u201cmeans the US security state succeeded in criminalizing journalism and extending their jurisdiction globally to non-citizens,\u201d the presidential hopeful wrote on X (formerly Twitter). He added that, if Assange had persisted, \u201che would have died in prison\u201d due to his heart problems. <\/p>\n
08:02 GMT <\/b><\/p>\n
Assange was forced to agree to a guilty plea as for years he wrestled with \u201cthe system designed to beat you down,\u201d human rights activist Marty Gottesfeld has told RT. Gottesfeld spent years in a US prison after being accused of launching a cyberattack at a Boston hospital, to expose what he insists was the medical kidnapping and \u201ctorture\u201d of a girl. <\/p>\n
Gottesfeld suggested that the US is unlikely to bar Assange from talking about the harsh prison conditions he had endured, noting that this would be \u201cunprecedented.\u201d At the same time, he did not rule out a gag order prohibiting the activist from further discussing the contents of classified American files. <\/p>\n
08:01 GMT <\/b><\/p>\n
Former Ecuadorian President Rafael Correa, who granted Assange asylum at the country\u2019s embassy in London in 2012, has told RT that the activist has been \u201cpersecuted for telling the truth, not for lying.\u201d \u201cThis has been really crazy. Twelve years of a journalist\u2019s life have been stolen from him for telling the truth. The real war criminals went unpunished,\u201d Correa said. <\/p>\n
07:46 GMT <\/b><\/p>\n
Stella Assange, the Australian-born activist\u2019s wife, posted a photo on X (formerly known as Twitter) of what she said was \u201cJulian calling into Sydney from Stansted airport last night\u201d with the Sydney Opera House in the background. <\/p>\n
07:18 GMT <\/b><\/p>\n
Murray said that while Assange will have to live within certain limitations, his family apparently believes that the deal is certain. \u201cOf course, nobody really takes seriously this guilty [plea]. It\u2019s obvious\u2026 this is coerced. It is a cheap move by the Biden administration, to claim a little hollow victory for themselves.\u201d <\/p>\n
06:54 GMT <\/b><\/p>\n
Despite his release and expected deal with the US Justice Department, Assange is a \u201cmarked man\u201d and \u201cwill always be in danger\u201d after exposing US secrets, Craig Murray, a human rights activist and former UK ambassador to Uzbekistan, told RT. This threat, he added, comes \u201cparticularly from the malicious forces of the CIA and the United States.\u201d <\/p>\n
06:35 GMT <\/b><\/p>\n
The VJT199 charter flight believed to be carrying Assange has landed in Bangkok, Thailand, according to the Flightradar24 website. It is unclear whether the aircraft is refueling after flying from the UK, or how the activist will continue his journey to the Northern Mariana Islands, some 5,000km to the east. <\/p>\n
