WikiLeaks said on social media that on the morning of June 24 local time, WikiLeaks founder Assange left Belmarsh prison in London, England, where he spent 1,901 days. He was released on bail by the High Court in London and was released at Stansted Airport in the afternoon, where he boarded a plane and left the UK. Earlier media reports said Assange had agreed to plead guilty in exchange for being spared prison time in the United States. He is expected to return to Australia after pleading guilty, and sentencing is scheduled for Wednesday morning local time in Saipan, the largest island in the Mariana Islands, because Assange objects to travel to the mainland United States, and the court is close to Australia.
