Wikileaks founder Julian Assange arrived in Bangkok on Tuesday after he was granted bail and released from Britain’s high-security Belmarsh prison, where he had been held for more than 1,900 days. Assange has agreed to a plea deal with US authorities that will end his 15-year battle to avoid extradition to the US on espionage charges. Assange is set to plead guilty to a single criminal count of conspiring to obtain and disclose classified US national defence documents when he appears before a court in the US territory of the Mariana Islands on Wednesday. He is expected to be sentenced to time already served in the British jail, allowing him to return to Australia within days.

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange insists that his organisation did not receive hacked Hillary Clinton campaign emails from Russia. More than 19,000 emails were released during the US presidential election. The affair could be a factor in Donald Trump’s victory. Assange declined to reveal whether the source was based in the US.
