      Three doctors who treat refugees examined @JulianAssange and say he is ill and being deprived of adequate medical care. Their point: if health care is a right, Assange deserves it, too. @sondracrosby16 @brockchisholm, @seanreedlovehttps://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2018/jan/24/julian-assange-care-wikileaks-ecuadorian-embassy …

      Replying to @neeratanden @JulianAssange and

      Yes. You're right. Assange is a fugitive, not a refugee. In health care we aim to treat regardless of status--and not call the police on our patients unless they are a danger to others. But that doesn't mean we owe fugitives protection from the consequences of their actions.

          He could go to a hospital. I do not believe the doctors or nurses would call the police. To equate him with a refugee is wrong

          Assange resides in Ecuadorean territory. If he’s unhappy with the care he’s receiving, he can: a) make his grievances known to the Ecuadorean government which he believes is failing him b) Leave

          He didn't enter that building because of crimes against the state, but dodging sex crimes allegations. Do you provide that kind of attentive care at the local prison?

          Those were BS false charges and were dropped by the Swedish government last May.

          Replying to @LaAcadianCheri @Cody_Robison and

          Wrong. The warrant was dropped because as a fugitive, he evaded getting served. Should he return to Sweden before the statute of limitations, it could be resumed. But if he believes he’s a free man, he can just open the front door, walk out and take a train to Sweden.pic.twitter.com/7Onef6I9nq

          And if the charges really were BS and dropped, then there’s literally no reason for him to stay in that embassy another minute.

          If three doctors examined him then what is the issue with Assange getting healthcare? Three doctors were in there apparently. Oh, and in the U.S. several major hospitals are doing some appointments by video chat. Admittedly some, not all. And initially that wouldn’t happen.

          Assange has been given refugee status. In that sense he is a fugitive from the country that Ecuador and the UN believe he has a well-founded fear of. Most countries that refugees flee, believe the persecuted are fugitives. We advocate for ALL refugees.
