John Shipton, father of the WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, speaks during an interview in Canberra , Australia June 26, 2024.CANBERRA — Julian Assange's father, John Shipton, could breathe a massive sigh of relief on Wednesday after a decade-long campaign to free his son.

Shipton said he planned to ask his son in a low-key Australian way when he arrives: "Where have you been?""That Julian can come home to Australia and see his family regularly and do the ordinary things of life is a treasure. Life measured amongst the beauty of the ordinary is the essence of life," Shipton said.

He looked forward to being involved in his son's "practical everyday human life, not the sweep of politics."
