WikiLeaks founder Assange will be 'a free man' after US court appearance

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange will be a "free man" after a US judge signs off on his landmark plea deal expected to take place in remote US territory on Wednesday, his wife Stella said. Stella Assange said the end of his years-long legal drama that saw him board a plane from London to Bangkok on Monday had been a "whirlwind of emotions".
