Julian Assange walked free and was on his way back to his native Australia on Wednesday after a plea deal with the United States ended years of legal drama for the WikiLeaks founder. Assange, who from 2010 published hundreds of thousands of confidential US documents on the whistleblowing website, was released this week from a high-security British prison. The 52-year-old traveled to the Northern Mariana Islands, a Pacific US territory, to plead guilty to a single count of conspiracy to obtain and disseminate national defense information. He was sentenced Wednesday to five years and two months ...

United Nations' drug experts are worried that the collapse of opium production in Afghanistan will boost demand for new and dangerous alternative products around the world. The UN Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) in Vienna warned on Wednesday in particular against the synthetic heroin substitute nitazene, which has already led to deaths in several European countries. The cultivation of opium poppy, from which the heroin raw material opium is obtained, was banned in Afghanistan by the Taliban in 2022. As a result, global opium production fell by 74% last year to just under 2,000 tons, accordin...

The expected loss of Jamaal Bowman in Tuesday's Democratic primary is the first loss for a member of the progressive "squad", and with that a major loss for Palestinian voices in US Congress. What does this mean for the future? In an institution where there is heavy pressure to conform to longstanding norms, Bowman found a home in the "squad" of young progressives, who, through working together, have been able to bring to the forefront issues such as organised labour, accessible healthcare, and human rights in US foreign policy, most controversially of Palestinians.

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has pleaded guilty at a court in the Northern Mariana Islands in a deal with US authorities expected to leave him a free man. Here are five things to know about the US territory in the Western Pacific: Surrounded by the vast Pacific Ocean, the Northern Mariana Islands is a tiny, remote outpost of the world's largest economy. Its closest large neighbours are Japan, the Philippines and, most notably in this case, Australia -- Assange's home country, where he will return after the plea deal is completed. Court documents say the Northern Mariana Islands was chosen ...

Peru announced Tuesday that it will stop classifying transgender identities as a "mental disorder," an obsolete term long abandoned by the World Health Organization and which had sparked angry protests. The health ministry said that transgender people will instead be described as having "gender discordance" to ensure universal access to mental health treatment. The move came after the government last month updated its list of insurable health conditions -- which since 2021 has offered benefits for mental health treatment -- to include services for transgender people. In that decree, the health...
