WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange is so sick, he could die in
prison if he does not get urgent medical care, according to an
open letter sent Monday to British authorities.
More than 60 doctors wrote to UK Home Secretary Priti Patel to
express “serious concerns” about Assange’s fitness to stand
trial as he fights extradition to the US on espionage charges.
“It is our opinion that Mr. Assange requires urgent expert
medical assessment of both his physical and psychological state
of health,” wrote the doctors, from the UK, Australia, Europe
and Sri Lanka.
“Were such urgent assessment and treatment not to take place, we
have real concerns, on the evidence currently available, that
Mr. Assange could die in prison.
“The medical situation is thereby urgent. There is no time to
lose,” they wrote.
The letter says that Assange, 48, suffers from psychological
problems including “major depression,” as well as dental issues
and a serious shoulder ailment. He also shows the “symptoms of a
torture victim,” the letter claims.
