WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange returns to Australia a free man after US legal battle ends
==========
Julian Assange, founder of WikiLeaks, has returned to Australia after pleading guilty to obtaining and publishing U.S. military secrets in a deal with the Justice Department. Assange was accused of receiving and publishing war logs and diplomatic cables that exposed U.S. military wrongdoing in Iraq and Afghanistan. He spent five years in a British prison fighting extradition to the U.S. and has now been sentenced to the five years he already served. The plea deal allows Assange to return to Australia without any time in an American prison. His lawyer expects him to continue campaigning for freedom of speech and transparency in government.
