Julian Assange has flown out of the UK after agreeing to a plea deal which will see him go free. The Wikileaks founder is being moved to the Northern Mariana Islands in the Pacific, where he is expected to plead guilty to violating US espionage law. Assange was wanted for publishing classified US military files on the WikiLeaks platform, which he founded in 2006. He had been fighting extradition to the US in Britain, where he spent the past five years in a high-security prison.
