text:  In some ways, WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange's legal ordeal is coming to an end. After taking refuge at the Ecuadorian embassy in London in 2012, he was arrested by Britain in 2019. And since then, they've been trying to extradite him to the U.S. on charges that by publishing official secrets, he violated the Espionage Act. Having entered a guilty plea, he's been sentenced to time served and returned home to Australia.
