Subject: Julian Assange Set Free

Dear Colleagues,

Some good news on the fight for freedom, Julian Assange was set free today:

From Wikileaks:

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.

While he should have never been put behind bars to begin with, Assange has always been at the heart of keeping governments and officials accountable by shining light onto the darkness. Journalism has always been the forefront of the fight against tyranny, especially when it's done with integrity and courageousness. Welcome home Assange.

Information must be free. Ross Ulbricht shall be next. 

Sincerely,

Steven Nekhaila
