The WikiLeaks founder is being reunited with his family to start a new life.
The WikiLeaks founder has appeared in court in the US territory of the Northern Mariana Islands and pleaded guilty to one charge.
The International Federation of Journalists and the National Union of Journalists welcomed Assange’s release from prison.
In a statement posted on X, the official WikiLeaks account said Assange left Belmarsh Prison, in south east London, on Monday and flew out of the UK.
The full appeal is now expected to be heard in London later this year.
The founder of WikiLeaks has been fighting extradition to the US.
Stella Assange said Tuesday’s High Court ruling showed the court was ‘tying itself in knots’.
"He revealed the truth, and for that he is suffering, and that’s we we need to do whatever we can to help him", Ben Cohen said.
"This is a dark day for press freedom and for British democracy. Anyone in this country who cares about freedom of expression should be deeply ashamed."
