Wikileaks Founder, Julian Assange, Expected to Secure Freedom Following Agreement Signing
Stella Assange, speaking to the BBC, expressed her delight and awe. She asserted that Julian Assange would soon be a free man, following the signing of an agreement, which is expected to happen tomorrow. She declined to provide details about the exact terms of the deal.
What's important to her right now is her husband's health and wellbeing.
It was earlier speculated from publicly accessible US court documents that Julian Assange was planning to strike a deal with American authorities. The Australian is apparently ready to accept responsibility for a case related to the disclosure of sensitive data concerning US national defense, as part of an agreement with the US Justice Department.
Julian Assange began his journey on a plane towards Bangkok, where a refueling stopover was scheduled. From there, he is expected to travel to Saipan, the capital of the US territory in the Pacific, where he will appear in court on Wednesday morning.
The 52-year-old founder of WikiLeaks is facing charges in the US for allegedly leaking around 700,000 confidential documents about US military and diplomatic activities between 2010 and 2013. He has been imprisoned in a high-security British facility since 2019.
If the US court sentences him to the remaining 62 months of his potential prison term, which he has already served in the UK, Assange could return to his native land, Australia.
