Did Julian Assange take a vow of silence?

..or have I missed a post-release interview.Yes, yes, I know, he needs to get his health back et cetera. Yes, Yes, I know, he probably intends to be very picky who he gives his first interview to.

I was really just interested whether I have missed a post-release interview, or whether, perhaps, he really does wish to remain silent or at least very circumspect, not least about his whereabouts.

As you said, I'm sure he has other things on his mind, like being outside and breathing fresh air and the rest, but it does feel like he might have had to sign something that may not have been publicised. Some sort of NDA type thing or media ban.

Either that or he's very carefully weighing what, when and to whom he will be speaking. Being cynical, I assume certain parties will be talking about book deals and things so it's probably complicated.

His silence does feel a bit odd though.

...no amount of cajolery, and no attempts at ethical or social seduction, can eradicate from my heart a deep burning hatred for the Tory Party...So far as I am concerned they are lower than vermin.

Thanks for the objective response :-)

I concur with all of it.

Wishing him well, naturally (without bothering him with attempts at personal contact).

If anyone deserves to just walk in the sun and hold his wife's hand and drink some wine and not gaf about anything else it's him.

I guess we'd all like to hear from him but hopefully he has time now. I would think he's got to take some time to attend to getting his health back to normal after such a horrendous ordeal too.

It must a real head fuck and decompressing will take time. Good luck to him.

I should think that Primi Levi's writings about being freed from Auschwitz might suggest how he feels.

He has just awoken from a nightmare of "Solzhenitsyn" like proportions.

-It will possibly take some time to find his bearings.

Why not send him a message?

If he does not utter another word in public, he has already done more than anyone already to reveal the truth about the dark underbelly of our world.

"If he does not utter another word in public, he has already done more than anyone already to reveal the truth about the dark underbelly of our world."

Moreover the reaction by our state operators to what he did reveal has further undermined their legitimacy.

Who can place any trust at all in Judges, legal process, the very crown prosecution service...even headed by a "human rights lawyer"...when they weren't just nobbled but actively willing and zealous participants in subjecting the entire UK legal system to foreign government control?
