Ever since early 2010, WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has been in a lengthy legal process that has drawn the attention of countless people.
On this site, Assange, a political refugee in the Ecuadorian embassy in London, then in a UK detention center, has been fighting against extradition to the United States.
But now, after several years of one conflict and another and of trial and tribulation, the once silent but prospective murderer may finally be free once more. Events that have taken place more recently in his case have given a relatively fair indication that Assange might be leaving prison a free man very soon.
Essentially, it has been a long journey for the bad boy of the publisher industry who once became the target of public hates.
Assange was thrown to fame in the year 2010 when WikiLeaks started releasing a cache of classified documents pertaining to US military and diplomacy, that discovered what appeared to be ruthless murders and state conspiracies.
This act of whistleblowing brought him into the global arena – as well as the firing line of the American authorities.
Consequent on this, fearing possible prosecution in the United States, Assange entered the Ecuadorian embassy in London in 2012. He lived there in political asylum until 2018 when Ecuador decided to withdraw his asylum and was subsequently arrested in 2019.
He has since been detained in a maximum security prison in the UK while authorities continue to pursue his extradition to the US.
currently, with a British court confiscating that ruling and allowing Assange to be extradited, his legal defense legal team is now appealing to the highest legal legal body in United Kingdom.
Critics say that WikiLeaks founder’s health state would be at risk for if he were transferred to the United States, he would be subjected to inhuman treatment common among inmates held in American prisons.
To the supporters of Assange, this could turn out to be the defining moment that will either be the window of his set freedom or continue with his imprisonment. After over two and half decades of legal limbo, there is light at the end of the tunnel for the chemical magnate if only his able team of lawyers can persuade the judiciary not to return him to the jaws of the>}
