The democratic west out there engaging in one of the longest and most dramatic repressions of a journalist in history.
Absolutely disgusting how radlibs turned on him as soon as the media blamed Wikileaks for “aiding Russia”

Fucking idiots will turn on anyone the media tells them to.

Yeesh, wonder why they’re an ex
Amazing. He needs to move to a decent country and then write a book about the horror he experienced once he gets some psychological counseling for the PTSD. This man’s a fucking hero.
I’m glad he’s free but goddamn I don’t think he’s going to be straight for awhile, dude is really going to need some time to heal. Solitary confinement is torture and it’s crazy how the prison system uses it with such ease.
Fuck the US, seriously
Incredible news.
I don’t think it can be understated just how much damage this man did to US credibility through wikileaks. I have no idea if he has the skillset he once had or the connections that enabled it but they incredible damage to the US and they hunted him relentlessly for it to set an example. And it worked flawlessly. Other outlets became considerably more on the side of the US in the aftermath of crackdowns on Assange and police raids of any news org that was publishing anything the US didn’t like, the UK Guardian being an obvious famous example of this when the authorities raided them for Snowden’s harddrives and forced them to take angle grinders to the drives while GCHQ operatives observed.
I wonder what “negotiations” took place. Is he allowed to go back to journalism if he wanted to?
It’s hard to believe. But it’s easy to believe the lack of attention this news is getting
Huh, was kinda never expecting to see the day.
Obviously a very good thing he’s free but it sucks he had to spend so long in such awful conditions, I imagine you’d never fully get over that sort of experience (real doomer hours from me tonight I guess).
I thought he was going to quietly break his hyoid bone at some point TBH.
Same
if I were him you would not catch my ass in any country with a US extradition treaty
The dude needs to flee to Russia asap and never leave.
no fucking way he’s free? holy shit he’s free!
Hell yes, good news for once
Sorry to hear about his impending accidental death
🥲
Wow! I never though that I would see the day. Death to America, and all its vassals.
