Big news is coming about WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange. It is being told that his way out of British jail has been cleared. Actually, he has agreed to accept the charges under the agreement with America. After this, he was released from jail. Now his way to return to his homeland Australia has also been cleared.
The report claimed that Assange has agreed to accept the charge of revealing military secrets in the US court. In return, he had demanded his release. In such a situation, as soon as he confessed his crime in the court, the years-old legal drama also came to an end. According to the document filed in the court of Mariana Islands of America, Assange will be convicted in one case of conspiracy to obtain and disseminate information related to national defense. Assange was in custody in Britain till now.
Assange leaves Britain
WikiLeaks claimed on Tuesday morning British time that Julian Assange is now free. He has left Britain. He may reach the US on Wednesday morning local time.
What is the matter?
52-year-old Australian citizen Assange was accused by the US government in 2010 for his role in leaking confidential documents related to the war in Iraq and Afghanistan. Assange was charged with 17 charges of espionage and one charge of computer misuse for publishing US documents on his website. Assange took refuge in the Ecuadorian embassy in London for seven years. After this, he spent the last five years in a British jail.
This is how you can return to Australia
It is being said that Assange can be sentenced to up to 62 months in prison. However, Assange has spent about five years i.e. 60 months in a British prison, so his sentence will be considered complete. In such a situation, he can return to his native country Australia.
