WikiLeaks founder Assange back in Australia a free man

A 'calm and free' Julian Assange returned home to Australia after 14 years of detention over espionage charges by the US.

His return home was possible after the WikiLeaks founder pleaded guilty to a felony charge, ending a years-long stalemate with the US government.

A plane carrying Assange landed in Canberra, the Australian capital, late Wednesday evening, local time. Wikileaks used crowdfunding to pay for Assange's travel home.
