The WikiLeaks founder is being reunited with his family to start a new life.
WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has arrived in his native Australia to be reunited with his family and start a new life as a free man.
Among those greeting him was his father John Shipton, who hugged his son before he gave one final wave and entered a nearby building. Mr Pollack said: “The prosecution of Julian Assange is unprecedented in the 100 years of the Espionage Act, it has never been used by the United States to pursue a publisher, a journalist, like Mr Assange.
He said: “There was a very narrow agreed upon set of facts here and Mr Assange acknowledges that of course, he accepted documents from Chelsea Manning, and published many of those documents because it was in the world’s interest that those documents be published. US prosecutors had repeatedly asserted that his actions broke the law and put the country’s national security at risk.Julian Assange is free. He left Belmarsh maximum security prison on the morning of 24 June, after having spent 1901 days there.
