JULIAN ASSANGE IS FREE
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 2x3 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.

I have hated Tories all my life....now I hate Labour as much.
To be clear. Not nearly as much....I hate them as much.
Well done Keir Starmer. You absolute idiot.
This is how UK politics works.
Tories run the place.
When they get too toxic for the public, a sham "opposition" (a milder Tory) gets bigged up by the media and assumes office.
It creates an illusion of change.
But nothing of importance Ever Changes!
Starmer's Voice gives me the Chills.
Harsh, Hollow, without Warmth and Humanity, Devoid of Spirit.
A machine-like, automaton delivery, fired like shells into the dark skies of fading decency and perverted truth.
He sickens me to my stomach.
Vile, Disgusting, Servile Creep.
Some people think that dissing Starmer will let the Tories in 😄
It must be awful to get past the age of 18 and still think he offers anything like an alternative to austerity, privately-funded, crappy services, Draconian cuts and bullshit.
He's a spiteful, hateful Tory.
The biggest insult you can have in this life.
Being told what to do, and how to live your life by a fucking Brainless, Talentless, spoilt Git with the sophistication and talent of a brick wrapped in bog paper. . .
"Not one single word in the Prime Minister's statement of condemnation of the Israeli destruction of the Iranian consulate in Damascus"
Rochdale MP George Galloway confronts the PM over his silence on Israel's aggression which sparked the recent escalation between Israel and Iran.
The people behind the Post Office scandal need to be on trial.
As do the Water Company mass polluters, and VIP PPE Lane fraud, and HS2.
But they aren't, they're all still in charge and given Knighthoods.
The UK is a mafia state.
We've suffered enough from the hordes of careerists politicians towing the line of the establishment, representing their own interests. It's well beyond time that the people took back the power that belongs to them. George Galloway has shown us that it can be done.
Let's do it.✊
Man who was not elected, even by his own party membership, stands outside Downing Street and lectures a nation about the 'need to protect democratic processes'.
Basil Fawlty on speed…
"Keir Starmer has been complicit in the genocide in Gaza from day one."
"Spare us of this Labour party."
