No one claims this. Please read the article.
If you believe the claims of the UN Special Rapporteur are without merit, please provide your evidence and/or reasoning.
- wang_li 7y ago> Julian Assange has been intentionally psychologically tortured by Sweden, Britain, Ecuador and the U.S. The only thing the US has done is try to get him extradited to prosecute him. I suppose the argument can be made that he's not afraid of trial, but rather of being incarcerated for his crimes. Also the second paragraph: > And third, he is to be extradited to a country that holds people like him in prison conditions that Amnesty International has described as torture. > [...] could be tortured to death in the United States. Sorry, but these are just melodrama.
- farsicalFace 7y agoYou seem to think U.S. prison is a just punishment for a crime. Most of the western world (including Assange) would disagree. The maximum time you can be put into solitary confinement is psychological damaging as Amnesty International reports.
