After 12 years in detention, Julian Assange is finally a free man, but the real winner is the United States as he was forced to agree to a blackmail deal in exchange for freedom.

After a horrendous ordeal imposed on him by the US and UK, WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange is finally free.

The Australian prime minister says he will have more to say when these legal proceedings have concluded.

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has been released from a British prison after he reached a plea deal with the US that ends his 12-year legal battle and allows him to return home to Australia.

The Australian prime minister demands the cessation of Julian Assange's imprisonment, as his extradition from a London prison to the United States was temporarily put on hold.

US President Biden considers Australia's request to drop Assange's prosecution charges.

To supporters of Julian Assange this is not just about the extradition of one man, but also about the profound consequences that it will have for press freedom in the UK and elsewhere around the world.
