'Julian Assange has embarked on flight VJT199 to Saipan. If all goes well it will bring him to freedom in Australia. But the flight comes at enormous cost: Julian will owe USD 520,000 which he is obligated to pay back to the Australian government for the charter flight to Saipan and onward to Australia.
In addition, and after 14 years of detention, including five years in maximum security prison, Julian’s health is in dire need of recovery. We are launching an emergency appeal to seek donations to help him cover the flight debt and substantial funds to ensure his recovery and well-being and safety upon his arrival.
Every contribution counts.'

Personally I won't be donating, much as I would like to, because I can't face handing money over to the Oz govt for such a vindictive shakedown of one of their own citizens who has been tortured for the last 12 years. If there was a separate fund guaranteed to go towards JA's recovery then I would donate in a heartbeat. Just sayin...
