Julian Paul Assange’s legal case finally came to an end today with the ruling of the Court of Saipan, Mariana Island, accepting his plea agreement with the USA in exchange for his admission of guilt. The case, which has been ongoing for over a decade, gained international attention in 2010 when Assange, born in Townsville, Australia in 1971, revealed classified US documents through WikiLeaks. These documents, received from former soldier Chelsea Manning, exposed war crimes in Afghanistan and Iraq, causing national security concerns for the United States.
Assange received numerous accolades and honors for his work with WikiLeaks, including the proposal of a Nobel Peace Prize. However, he also faced legal troubles, particularly with American justice. In 2010, a Swedish prosecutor issued an arrest warrant for Assange over sexual assault allegations. Assange denied the accusations but was eventually arrested in London.
