‘Serious concerns’ over mental health of Julian Assange

Managing Editor at Shadowproof in London Kevin Gosztola says Julian Assange's legal team have been told Mr Assange has depression, evidence which the defence is putting forward to discourage the extradition of Mr Assange to the United States. It comes as there have recently been “serious concerns” about the mental health of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, according to Sky News host Brent O’Halloran. The charges against Mr Assange, which include allegations of conspiring to hack government computers and espionage, could lead to a maximum sentence of 175 years behind bars. “What we’re hearing from Assange’s legal team about Julian Assange’s health is that they had doctors who – at least one – diagnosed him with severe depression, the others found he had moderate depression,” Mr Gosztola told Mr O’Halloran. “We’re hearing about his risk of suicide if he would be extradited to the United States, and the defence is putting all of this evidence into the record to discourage the judge from approving the extradition because they believe it would violate his human rights.”
