Assange Crowdfunding

Julian Assange Freed from Prison

Wife Raises Funds for Transport

Sydney, June 27, 2024 - Julian Assange has been released from prison in the United States and is on his way back to Australia. His wife, Stella, launched an emergency crowdfunding appeal to raise $520,000 for transport costs, which raised over $700,000 within hours.

Appeal for Asylum

Assange's legal team has stated that he is now a free man, but they are appealing to various countries for asylum, as he still faces extradition to the United States.

Terrorist Cell Threat

During Assange's extradition hearing at the Old Bailey, it was revealed that if extradited to the US, he could be held in a specialized cell designed for 9/11 terrorists.

High Court Appeal

The UK High Court has granted Assange permission to appeal his extradition order on the grounds that the United States does not have diplomatic assurances that he will not face the death penalty.
