“In 20 years of work with victims of war, violence and political persecution I have never seen a group of democratic States ganging up to deliberately isolate, demonise and abuse a single individual for such a long time and with so little regard for human dignity and the rule of law,” Melzer said. “The collective persecution of Julian Assange must end here and now!”

The writer of the BBC's new comedy inspired by Julian Assange once called for the police to publicly shoot the Wikileaks founder in the head. Supporters of Assange say tweets Thom Phipps posted about him were 'shocking' and 'dangerous' – and make him unfit to write about the issue.

Amnesty International: UK Decision to refuse Assange bail renders his continued detention “arbitrary”

WikiLeaks releases confidential medical and psychological reports concerning our editor Julian Assange's situation. This part one publication consists of three documents: a twenty-seven page psycho-social and medical assessment from 10 November 2015, a report from Mr. Assange's physician from 8 December 2015 and a dentist's report from 31 July 2015. The in-depth assessment of the psychological and physical effects that the severely restrictive conditions of confinement within the small premises of the Embassy have had on Mr. Assange is by far the most detailed insight into the circumstances of his life inside the Embassy --including the multi-million dollar covert operation the United Kingdom admits to subjecting him to. He has been deprived of his liberty since 7 December 2010. He has not been charged with an offence.
The deterioration of Mr. Assange's physical health has arisen as a result of the extremely restrictive conditions of his confinement. The United Kingdom has formally refused safe access to even the most basic hospital diagnostics.

During Assange's extradition hearing in London in 2020, his defence team called several witnesses, including doctors who were asked to comment on the psychological and physical state of Julian Assange, the harm that was done to him over years of political persecution and arbitrary detention, and the dangers an extradition to the U.S would represent for his health and safety.
