Julian Assange to be sent home after admitting to U.S. espionage charge

Julian Assange, the founder of WikiLeaks, has reportedly pleaded guilty to a charge of espionage in the United States.

This unexpected development comes after years of legal battles and extradition attempts from various countries, centred around WikiLeaks’ publication of classified documents.

Wikileaks said in a statement posted on social media platform X.

“This is the result of a global campaign that spanned grass-roots organisers, press freedom campaigners, legislators and leaders from across the political spectrum, all the way to the United Nations,” the statement said. #featured #trending
