WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange landed to an ecstatic welcome in Australia on Wednesday, after pleading guilty to violating U.S. espionage law in a deal that sets him free from a 14-year legal battle.

Assange disembarked from a private jet at Canberra airport, waving to waiting media and cheering supporters before passionately kissing his wife, Stella, and lifting her off the ground. He also embraced his father before entering the terminal building with his legal team.

Assange has not spoken publicly since being released and did not appear at a Wikileaks press conference at a hotel in Canberra, where Stella Assange said it was too soon to say what her husband would do next but that he needed time to recover and “get used to freedom.”

“That is the cherry on top of a very, very handsome birthday cake, that Julian can come home to Australia and see his family regularly and do the ordinary things of life,” said Assange’s father, John Shipton.
