From the meeting notes, it’s clear that WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has been released from a U.K. prison after serving over five years and is set to be sentenced to 62 months of time already served in Saipan. The U.S. Department of Justice accepted a plea agreement with no additional prison time due to his lengthy serving period. The release of Assange is the result of a global campaign and negotiations with the U.S. Department of Justice. Additionally, the notes detail some of the activities and significant releases of WikiLeaks since its founding in 2006, including their publication of millions of documents related to war, spying, and corruption.
