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.

Frau Högl, Wehrbeauftrage im Bundestag, lässt verlauten, dass sie gern mehr Frauen in der Bundeswehr hätte. Mein hinterer Hirnlappen, welcher für Satire, Zynismus und schlechten Humor mit zuständig ist, ergänzt in Pistorius-Timbre:"...wir brauchen JEDEN Mann!"
“I’ve come to play rock and roll for you, in the hope that one day all barriers will be torn down.”
35 years ago today, Bruce played in East Berlin to the biggest crowd he'd seen — a "winner-take-all" show, he wrote later, explaining: "Rock 'n' roll is a music of stakes. The higher they're pushed, the deeper and more thrilling the moment becomes."
And the rest is history.

Am Samstag findet ihr mich irgendwo in der Nähe oder irgendwie am Stand vom Pop Up Club Neuenhagen. Möglicherweise verstecke ich mich hinter einer Schreibmaschine.

Was macht man, wenn man am Frankfurter Tor aufgrund einer Sperrung im Stau steht? Richtig! Fotos. Stadtbilder. Dokumentieren, wie nicht nur Mensch, sondern auch die Technik durchdreht.
