        Assange is close to losing his mind , passing the time, counting his footsteps in his 24/7 isolated prison cell; requesting geographical distances to track his mental journey from country to country. He Is Losing His Mind!!! This is Barbaric! What are his lawyers doing about it?

        Now I’ll get trolled for “attacking his lawyers!” Who else has the most control to help Julian? It’s a battlefield using the legal system, only his lawyers can use. We have our hands tied. We are kept in the dark. Only selected few get inside info.

        “However, what we have seen from the UK Government is outright contempt for Mr. Assange’s rights and integrity,” Melzer said.” Outright contempt. How very third World of #Britain.

        Thank you @NilsMelzer for continuing to speak up about State persecution of Julian Assange. By taking a stand against the ongoing human rights abuses he endures you hold governments to account, shining a light on the murky injustices they are dishing out. #FreeJulianAssange

        With an election coming up, and a good chance that Corbyn may be the new PM, they may step up Julian's torture in order to kill him off before Corbyn can release him. Horrible that we need to think this way - but this is how they operate.

        A financial investment they with fight tooth and nail to destroy. The most costly arbitrarily detained prisoner in Europe, maybe the world. Zero Democracy in the UK, therefore no Justice. As long as the financial wing of business interests are in power his life is in jeopardy.
