Julian Assange has walked free from prison after a years-long case that saw him ultimately agree to a plea deal and plead guilty to a felony offence in the US in exchange for avoiding a jail sentence.

This image from a video posted by his wife Stella to X shows Assange today, before his flight to the Northern Mariana Islands.

Assange, now 52, has been a global public figure since 2010, when a warrant issued for his arrest sparked a series of refuges, court cases, protests and prosecutions.
