WikiLeaks' Assange arrives in Mariana Islands for US plea deal
==========

Julian Assange, the founder of WikiLeaks, has arrived in the Northern Mariana Islands to plead guilty to violating U.S. espionage law. He is expected to plead guilty to a single criminal count of conspiring to obtain and disclose classified U.S. national defense documents. If the judge approves his plea, Assange will be sentenced to 62 months of time already served and is expected to return to Australia. Assange's supporters view him as a victim who exposed U.S. wrongdoing, while the U.S. government has accused him of putting lives in danger. Australian governments have been advocating for his release.
