'I finally got to embrace my husband as a free man': Stella Assange

Stella Assange said that when her husband Julian Assange came home “there were so many tears”.
WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has returned to Australia as a free man after pleading guilty to espionage in a plea deal to secure his release.
“There were so many tears, everyone was so emotional,” Ms Assange told Sky News Australia.
“I finally got to embrace my husband as a free man.”

So relieved the legal nightmare is over for them and they can now heal and rebuild their lives together. A reminder that not one of the war crimes that Assange exposed has led to a prosecution and conviction. The criminals walk free. Only Assange, a publisher, who was hounded, tortured and imprisoned for exposing the truth of those crimes, was. That must change. And a free press and freedom of speech must be protected.
