    Nils Melzer Retweeted Lissa Johnson

    Many thanks @LissaKJohnson for explaining, as a clinical expert, the psychological effects of #Assange's prolonged exposure to judicial arbitrariness, social isolation, defamation & intimidation, how it relates to the prohibition of #Torture & what the most urgent remedies are!https://twitter.com/LissaKJohnson/status/1166657665038073856 …

    Nils Melzer added,

    Lissa Johnson @LissaKJohnson
    My interview with @WSWSMedia: They are trying to break #JulianAssange physically and psychologically. Julian is being subjected to the same unethical and brutal psychological torture tactics that he helped psychologists to expose and combat. #FreeAssange http://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2019/08/28/liss-s28.html …

        Dr. Melzer and Dr. Johnson, if I write to Julian Assange can you give any guidance as to the best things to say to him given his current state? I am unfamiliar with not only prison systems but with what he is personally going through. Your advice pls?

        Many thanks to you both. As a whistleblower exposing the CIA Internet interface in Aug 2016, l too was subjected to their torture & persecution. I wanted to die, twice. I understand what Julian is going through. They tried to destroy every area of my life. And this is in Scotland

        And no one cares. No legal system to protect me or my son. Left to suffer. Silenced, subjugated, controlled. This is the true motives behind MI6 and MI5. A vassal state of the US.

        Thanks, @NilsMelzer and @LissaKJohnson for spelling out just how #inhumane the treatment of #Assange is by the #UK! This is a blatant breach of his @HumanRights, & a #heinous, unacceptable #AbuseOfPower to gratify the #US. #UK is a ROGUE state acting ABOVE the Law! Despicable!

        Have you had even one Australian journalist want to interview you yet or are they studiously ignoring you.

        #Holocaust is the state of obedience to the rule of the most belligerent people which managed to gain the power due to our! distaste for their characters to confront them! #Holocaust is not happening only when Jews are murdered-also when #JulianAssange is persecuted!

        Assange should just tell the truth. He does this to himself

        Revealing the truth to us about our corrupted political, intelligence and media establishments is why he's been persecuted.
