Julian Assange is free. He left Belmarsh maximum security prison on the morning of 24 June, after having spent 1901 days there. He was granted bail by the High Court in London and was released at Stansted airport during the afternoon, where he boarded a plane and departed the UK.
This is the result of a global campaign that spanned grass-roots organisers, press freedom campaigners, legislators and leaders from across the political spectrum, all the way to the United Nations. This created the space for a long period of negotiations with the US Department of Justice, leading to a deal that has not yet been formally finalised. We will provide more information as soon as possible.
After more than five years in a 2×3 metre cell, isolated 23 hours a day, he will soon reunite with his wife Stella Assange, and their children, who have only known their father from behind bars.
WikiLeaks published groundbreaking stories of government corruption and human rights abuses, holding the powerful accountable for their actions. As editor-in-chief, Julian paid severely for these principles, and for the people’s right to know.
As he returns to Australia, we thank all who stood by us, fought for us, and remained utterly committed in the fight for his freedom.
Julian’s freedom is our freedom.
#JohnShipton and #GabrielShipton, have tirelessly campaigned for an end to the persecution of their son and brother. Yesterday we learned that their unrelenting efforts have finally paid off as #JulianAssange was released from Belmarsh Prison, boarding a flight out of the UK from Stansted airport.
As Julian enters the US overseas territory of the Mariana Islands, he is still at risk so we need as many eyes on his flight as possible. Click the link below to track his flight, due to depart from Bangkok, Thailand at 21:05 local time
