Julian Assange spends first night of freedom in Australia

Canberra, Jun 27 (EFE).- WikiLeaks Founder Julian Assange woke up Thursday as a free man after spending his first night in Australia, where he arrived a day earlier after pleading guilty to espionage before an overseas United States territory court.

Assange's wife Stella Assange, called Wednesday night for "time" and "space" so that her husband can recover his health after 14 years of legal litigation in the United Kingdom, where he spent seven years sheltering in the Ecuadorian embassy and five in a high security prison.
