They mention his health declining during the embassy visit, which is relevant because he was denied the ability to get proper medical care. But most of the ongoing news of his decline is from prison. You are entirely lacking in empathy of a journalist who's done amazing things for society and is a human being. It's a shame your feelings were hurt by whichever leak came out of WikiLeaks, but it's also a shame you feel the need to perpetuate smears and dehumanize someone who's only ever had your best interests at heart. Also Assange was never facing prosecution for sexual assault. He was only wanted for questioning, blatantly for political purposes. Please stop spreading fake news

  I'm so over this. Please spread your misinformation elsewhere. It's a shame HN moderation only selectively enforces their policies and allows people like you to propagate lies and dishonesty.
