Julian Assange is officially a free man on his way home to Australia, after pleading guilty to obtaining and publishing United States military secrets.
Twelve years after he first locked himself in a London embassy to avoid possible extradition to the US, the WikiLeaks founder on Wednesday boarded a flight to Canberra after a US judge declared he had already served his sentence in Belmarsh Prison.
Judge Ramona Manglona wished an “early happy birthday” to Assange, who turns 53 next week.
“I hope you will start your new life in a positive manner,” she said.
