Julian Assange Returns to X After 8 Years
WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has returned to the X platform after a hiatus that lasted since 2018. He announced his return by posting a photo in front of a mural in Sydney with the words "I'm back." This comes after years of detention and legal pursuit, which ended in June 2024 with his release from the British Belmarsh Prison and his departure from the UK to Australia. This followed an agreement he reached with the US Department of Justice that helped him avoid a life sentence in exchange for agreeing to the charges against him, which relate to conspiracy to disclose classified documents. The charges against him under the Espionage Act could have resulted in up to 175 years in prison. His return to X aims to revive his media activity, with his wife hinting at the possibility of releasing more news in the coming week.
