The United States Justice Department on Wednesday says Wikileaks Founder JULIAN ASSANGE had been banned from returning to the US unless he is granted permission, as the Australian native was freed in a US territory and boarded a plane for Canberra.
“Pursuant to the plea agreement, ASSANGE is prohibited from returning to the United States without permission,” a Department of Justice statement said of the WikiLeaks founder, who has been embroiled in a years-long international legal drama after publishing thousands of secret US documents in 2010.
