GENEVA (Reuters) - WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has suffered psychological torture from a defamation campaign and should not be extradited to the United States where he would face a “politicised show trial”, a U.N. human rights investigator said on Friday.Nils Melzer, the U.N. special rapporteur on torture who visited Assange in a high-security London prison on May 9 along with two medical experts, said that he found him agitated, under severe stress and unable to cope with his complex legal case.
“Our finding was that Mr. Assange shows all the symptoms of a person who has been exposed to psychological torture for a prolonged period of time. The psychiatrist who accompanied my mission said that his state of health was critical,” Melzer told Reuters in an interview in Geneva.

I think they don’t dare let him come and testify about Seth Rich
What does Reuters think about Trump’s ongoing situation?
Boo hoo. Why should I feel sympathy for his situation?
They REALLY don’t want him to come here to testify. Looks like lots of the world was in on it.
“Mr. Assange shows all the symptoms of a person who has been exposed to psychological torture for a prolonged period of time”
I don’t doubt that may be true, since he’s been locked up in a foreign embassy for years, so that probably had some psychological effects.
Problem is, he did that to himself.
Yes, that’s it.
Al Reuters is shilling for DNC interests.
...a U.N. human rights investigator...
...took some time off from pissing on the graves of Jews...
If Assange is scared of our justice system and media, good thing he never ran for the presidency......
US out of UN
UN out of US
My thoughts exactly!
Military/Veterans?
In other words, Assange took a dump all over this country and now he scared of the consequences.
He also let us all know how invasive our country spies on us and the steps they would go take to RIG an election and make us aware of the capabilities of the NSA, etc. And definitively show how nasty and corrupt the podesta and clinton machine is.
Yes, he did put out there, the stuff that Manning gave him. Investigations by the military stated that there were no negative consequences from those dumps. There were negative consequences from sending guys out to look for Berghdal and his muslim dad was able to speak from the lawn of the White House.
So, there’s that.
Six men died looking for that traitor.
The cast of “Bay Watch” should rescue him.
Sorry Pamela.
5.56mm
Lots more wounded.
My point...while Assange has been painted a villain for some things he did in the early days of the GWOT.
He’s also told us about the absolute disgusting sh*t our government has done and continues to do to us.
If anyone deserves psychological, AND PHYSICAL, torture it is Berghdal. He should be tortured to within an inch of his life, healed up and then tortured some more. Rinse and repeat.
This commie maggot needs to face the firing squad as does Manning and Snowed.
WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has suffered psychological torture.
Pure Bullshit trying to avoid justice. Chuck his ass in prison and throw away the key. MORON.
