WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has been released from prison in the United Kingdom and is expected to return home to Australia after agreeing to plead guilty to a single charge of violating US espionage laws.
Assange, 52, will plead guilty to obtaining and disclosing classified documents related to US national defense, according to a filing filed in the US District Court for the Northern Mariana Islands.
He was released from Belmarsh High Security Prison in Great Britain and taken to the airport from where he flew out of the country.
