On Wednesday, a plane carrying WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange departed from the Northern Mariana Islands for Australia's capital, Canberra.
Sputnik goes live as WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange speaks in Canberra following his arrival in Australia.
Earlier, Julian Assange was released from a British prison after striking a deal with the US Department of Justice.
Assange, an Australian citizen, was transferred to London’s high-security Belmarsh prison in April 2019 for breaching bail charges. In the US, he faced prosecution under the Espionage Act for obtaining and disclosing classified information that shed light on war crimes and human rights abuses committed by US troops in Iraq and Afghanistan.
