WikiLeaks said it would hold a press conference in the Australian capital at 9.15pm on June 26.
CANBERRA - WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange returned home to Australia to start life as a free man on June 26, afterMr Assange landed on a chilly Canberra evening in a private jet, the final act of an international drama that led him from a five-year stretch in the high-security Belmarsh prison in Britain to a courtroom in a US Pacific island territory and, finally, home.
“He will be able to spend quality time with his wife Stella, and his two children, be able to walk up and down on the beach and feel the sand through his toes in winter – that lovely chill,” said Mr Assange’s father, Mr John Shipton.The remote courtroom was chosen because of the 52-year-old’s unwillingness to go to the continental United States and because of its proximity to Australia.
Mr Assange’s lawyer Jen Robinson told reporters it was a “historic day” that “brings to an end 14 years of legal battles”. The US authorities had wanted to put Mr Assange on trial for divulging military secrets about the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
