FULL TRANSCRIPT:
-----------------------------------
"Well, it’s great to smell the fresh air of London again.
First, some thank yous: to all the people around the world who have had faith in me, who have supported my team while I have been away; to my lawyers, who have put up a brave and ultimately successful fight, to our sureties and people who have provided money, in the face of great difficulty and aversion; and to members of the press who were not all taken in, and considered to look deeper in their work; and I guess finally, to the British justice system itself, where, if justice is not always an outcome at least it is not dead yet.
During my time in solitary confinement ,in the bottom of a Victorian prison, I had time to reflect on the conditions of those people around the world also in solitary confinement, also on remand, in conditions that are more difficult than those faced by me.
Those people also need your attention and support.
And with that, I hope to continue my work and continue to protest my innocence in this matter and to reveal — as we get it, which we have not yet — the evidence from these allegations.
Thank you."
