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.

      Not a bot. Assange helped regimes and dictators to kill US informants. Innocent people in Syria and Belarus for example got murdered because of the information Assange gave them. Look it up if you don’t believe me.

        Regurtitating the same talking points your government uses for people that reveal its atrocities are “bots” no matter how you spin it. There are tankie bots and you are a wankie bot.

        Tell us more about how revealing war crimes and global surveillance are traitors, bot.

        Zoldyck is not lying.

        Look up Assange and his connection with Israel Shamir, who helped Lukashenko’s regime in Belarus target opposition activists.

        This wasn’t a mistake, he knew what he was doing.

        People just buy into the PR around him (also spread by security services in russia and not only) without taking a critical look at his actions.

        Do better!
