#JulianAssange released from prison and returns to Australia.
Edward Fitzgerald KC acted for Mr Assange in the UK #extradition proceedings, together with Mark Summers KC and Florence Iveson of Matrix Chambers; Jennifer Robinson (@suigenerisjen) worked on the plea deal negotiations, as well as on arrangements with the Australian government to enable Mr Assange’s return home. Ms Robinson has also acted for and advised Mr Assange on all aspects of his cases since 2010, including on #Wikileaks publications, his extradition proceedings, his asylum claim with Ecuador and advice on international disputes over his asylum and diplomatic appointment, UN engagement with Special Procedures and all international cases. Alex Tinsley (@AlexLouisT) of Doughty Street has been working on Mr Assange’s European Court of Human Rights application.

We did it. 14 years of legal battles and we are finally taking him home to Australia to be reunited with @Stella_Assange and his kids - and giving him his life back.
So many thank yous to make - and will come.
Can’t wait to touch down in 🇦🇺
Later this month @INTERPOL_HQ its General Assembly in Vienna - what will happen to the initiatives for expulsion of a member? An explainer.
Interested to hear from @SaharZand, @Billbrowder and others if anyone knows the latest on this.
Note - expulsion is different from the mechanisms by which INTERPOL / the Commission for the Control of Files can stop sates using the system, in individual cases or more generally. See this helpful explainer: ejiltalk.org/does-interpol-h…
Well done to @AllSeafarers (All India Seafarers Union) and others for their work on this case.
Alex Tinsley’s (@AlexLouisT) seafarer client released from Indonesia – an illustrative case.
Seafarer Siyaab Salam has been released from Indonesia after months held unreasonably in the aftermath of a maritime accident.

So @IMOHQ I fear your response referring me to a generic FAQ page with a welfare contact rather underlines the observation made by the UN Special Rapporteur in his report of Jul 23 (A/HRC/54/25/ADD.2) about the lack of credible human rights mechanisms within the IMO:
Dear Alex, here are a series of resources for seafarers: imo.org/en/MediaCentre/HotTo… it also includes a direct contact at the IMO.
Dear @IMOHQ please see my communication on behalf of @SalamSiyaab, a seafarer held in Indonesia amid a dispute with the ship owner. We say the current restriction on his movement is contrary to the Fair Treatment Guidelines, Abandonment Guidelines and the ICCPR.
Dear @UNSR_Migration please see my communication to you (ref yi6ebokq) about this seafarer - a migrant worker - caught in the middle of a financial dispute between gov and ship owner. Real concern that the spirit of the @IMOHQ Fair Treatment Guidelines is not being honoured.
It's been more then 7 months we are held in Indonesian unlawfully please help us get back to India @jokowi @Menlu_RI @krisnamurthiINA @akjailani @sandiplomat @DrSJaishankar @AllSeafarers @IMOHQ @ilo @ITFSeafSupport @UN_HRC @hratsea @PrasharSdp @ravishndtv @KapilSibal @dgship_goi
