Julian Assange, the founder of Wikileaks, has been freed after spending 14 years in custody. This release comes after significant diplomatic efforts, mainly driven by Australian officials who used their relationships with the U.S. and UK to advocate for his freedom. Assange was initially imprisoned for revealing U.S. military activities in Iraq and Afghanistan. However, persistent lobbying by Australia and a change in political support eventually led to his release. Watch.
