On Tuesday June 25th 2024, it was announced that after fourteen long years, prison time, and an extended stay at the Ecuadorian embassy in London, Julian Assange would accept a plea deal from the United States on the island of Saipan, and finally return to Australia a freed man. It’s something that has been years in the making, and it’s a victory that advocates for free speech and freedom of the press have long campaigned for.

Mack Prentis spoke with Greg Barnes SC, Advisor of the Australia Assange Campaign and his lawyer about the end of a fourteen year long endeavour.
