Julian Assange Pleads Guilty in US Espionage Case
WikiLeaks Founder to Avoid Prison
BREAKING NEWS
In a stunning turn of events, WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has pleaded guilty to violating US Espionage law. The plea deal, which ended years of legal battles, will allow Assange to avoid prison.
Assange, who has been detained in Britain since 2019, faces up to five years in prison for the charges. However, as part of the plea deal, prosecutors have agreed to not request a sentence of more than four years.
The plea deal is a significant victory for Assange, who has long maintained that he is being politically persecuted by the US government. It also marks the end of a tumultuous period for WikiLeaks, which has been at the center of numerous controversies in recent years.
Assange's supporters have hailed the plea deal as a victory for freedom of speech and journalism. However, critics have argued that it sends a dangerous message to those who leak classified information.
