JAKARTA - WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange was released from British prison and returned to his home country of Australia, after his 12-year struggle against extradition to the United States ended with a defense agreement.
The controversial figure has spent the last five years in a high-security UK prison.
Julian Assange previously also spent nearly seven years hiding in Ecuador's embassy in London, trying to avoid arrests that could lead to life imprisonment.

Reporting from CNN, Julian Assange, 52, on Monday, June 24, agreed to pleaded guilty to alleged crimes related to his alleged role in one of the US government's biggest breaches of classified material after his website published nearly half a million classified military documents related to the US war in Iraq and Afghanistan.
The defense deal ends a long-running legal story, allowing Assange to avoid imprisonment in the US and return to Australia as a free person but this will not happen until he is present at a court in a remote US area of the Pacific.
