Julian Assange leaves jail on his way to enter plea deal with the U.S.
www.nbcnews.com
The WikiLeaks founder has been held in a British prison for the last five years and fought extradition to the U.S. He is expected to return to Australia.

Julian Assange is free.

After living in a cell for more than 5 years, he can soon go home and meet his family again.

I’m wondering if it was worth the sacrifice. The governments and tech companies are spying more than ever on everyone.

    Sure he had some shady connections, but all accusations of actual wrongdoing supposedly comitted by Assange himself were brought forward, sourced and verified by the same US authorities, that employed or protected the criminals he exposed, which makes them basically worthless.

    Opposing the Lukashenko regime is being a criminal?

    I get tankies and right-wingers, they actually know what Assange is about.

    But allegedly well meaning people thinking that he is some sort messiah or saviour, that’s what’s sad.

    He is a genuine supporter of russian imperialism and he has no qualms with sending opposition activists to hellish prisons, all the while positioning himself as some sort of fighter against US imperialism.

    Former russia today employee, Julian Assange after British prison, Volodymyr Tsema-Bursov, Ukrainian POW, after 20 month in russian captivity.

    And Assange support the russian regime and enables what they do to captives.

      Nah dude, your brain is cooked beyond saving if you blame Assange for what the russians decide to do with public information. Not even worth responding to this schizo level response tbh.
