Julian Assange, founder of Wikileaks, has finally begun his journey to freedom.  That's what all the media wrote. 

 The flight itself will cost a hefty sum of $520,000, which Assange is obliged to pay to the Australian government for a charter flight to Saipan and further to Australia. 

 Assange spent 1,901 days in prison after Ecuadorian authorities denied him asylum at their embassy in the UK.  The Australian journalist lived in the diplomatic mission of the South American country for seven years.
