WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange flew out of the UK on Monday
apparently a free man after reaching a plea deal with US
authorities over spy charges that have dogged him for more
than a decade.

In the coming hours Assange, 52, is expected to plead guilty
to a single espionage charge in a court appearance on a tiny
US-controlled Pacific island and prosecutors will seek a
sentence equivalent to time served.

WikiLeaks published footage of Assange being driven from
Belmarsh jail in London, where he has been detained for
five years, to Stansted Airport. He then boarded a private
jet that is believed to be heading initially to Thailand.
