Assange was released Monday from a high-security British prison where he had been held for five years while he fought extradition to the United States, which sought to prosecute him for revealing military secrets.He is expected to be sentenced to five years and two months in prison, with credit for the same amount of time he spent behind bars in Britain.

“Julian Assange has arrived on US territory at Saipan Island to formalise the plea deal that should never have had to happen,” WikiLeaks said on X. He was indicted by a US federal grand jury in 2019 on 18 counts stemming from WikiLeaks’ publication of a trove of national security documents. The material he released through WikiLeaks included video showing civilians being killed by fire from a US helicopter gunship in Iraq in 2007. The victims included a photographer and a driver from Reuters.
