John Shipton, an Australian activist and the father of WikiLeaks creator Julian Assange, said in an interview with RIA Novosti that he does not know what the future holds for his son.

In July, Assange was released from a British prison after many years of imprisonment and returned to Australia after a plea agreement with the US authorities.

"I just don't know what the future holds for Julian. And I'm going to get in terrible trouble if I talk about it. Julian would say, "What are you talking about anyway?" Shipton noted, commenting on the possibility of Assange visiting Russia in the future.
