This was extremely hard to read... I cannot imagine what is happening to other people similarly detained or who got arrested for worse reasons...

Absolutely horrifying read. I couldn't help but think about Julian Assange going through similar treatment in the UK. Just goes to show: All governments are criminal and terrorist organizations, oppressing and enslaving the people. Edit: sources for perennate > Two medical experts accompanied Melzer when he visited Assange at Belmarsh prison in the UK, he said on Tuesday. "We came to the conclusion that he had been exposed to psychological torture for a prolonged period of time. That's a medical assessment." Melzer’s message fell largely on deaf ears, as only a handful of reporters attended Tuesday’s press conference at the UN headquarters in New York. https://www.rt.com/news/471016-assange-torture-violations-un/ https://www.rt.com/news/471016-assange-torture-violations-un... Physically and mentally his condition has gotten pretty bad. He could barely speak in front of the judge recently. Listen to John Pilger who met him: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GLXzudMCyM4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GLXzudMCyM4

  Please provide sources for describing incidents where the UK government physically tortured Julian Assange by forcing him to stay awake, or strapped him to a chair so he couldn't move his limbs, or hung from a crossbar and forced into an eagle pose, etc. I doubt there are sources though since I'm pretty sure you just made this up.
