NOT IN OUR NAME: THE PSYCHOLOGICAL TORTURE OF JULIAN ASSANGE (2020, 24 mins)

“No-one should make any judgement about Julian Assange without watching this short and powerful film.”  (Peter Oborne, journalist and broadcaster) “This film is shocking, a real wake-up call. It should be watched by anyone concerned about human rights, the moral responsibilities of democratic states and the importance of justice for all individuals.”  (John McCarthy, author & broadcaster) “A powerful film that makes you think twice about Julian Assange.”  (Peter York, author & broadcaster) “Very informative and you were scrupulously objective.” (Lord David Owen, former Foreign Secretary) This revelatory film by independent filmmaker John Furse shows how Wikileaks founder Assange is a victim of prolonged psychological torture, an abuse of human rights and international law only very recently recognised and classified by the United Nations (UN). ‘NOT IN OUR NAME: THE PSYCHOLOGICAL TORTURE OF JULIAN ASSANGE’ (24 mins) was premiered on Tuesday July 14th 2020 at a special Zoom Forum organised by Don't Extradite Assange and The Courage Foundation. The Q & A with filmmaker John Furse, UN Special Rapporteur On Torture Nils Melzer and Reporters Without Borders' International Campaigns Director Rebecca Vincent can be seen on:    • Official launch of a film about the state ...   In February 2020 the UN Human Rights Commission (UNHRC) published a landmark report on psychological torture. It was written by their Special Rapporteur on Torture Professor Nils Melzer. Melzer had been responsible for reporting to UNCHR on the world-famous case of Assange. He’d been asked by Assange’s defence team to investigate the conditon of a man who for 9 years had been the target of US authorities for publishing a treasure trove of US intelligence files given to the online publisher by whistleblower Chelsea Manning. “I’m not going to defend this rapist, narcissist….” Melzer recalls disbelievingly in ‘NOT IN OUR NAME: The Psychological Torture of Julian Assange’. But once he started to look into the case he realised that “When you scratched the surface things didn’t add up.” His findings were explosive. After visiting Assange in London’s maximum security Belmarsh Prison last May with two medical specialists he came to the conclusion that Assange is the victim of psychological torture over a long period of time. In the film doctors with specialist knowledge in torture techniques, and a former diplomat who saw him daily during his refuge at the Ecuador Embassy in London, provide powerful testimony to Assange’s suffering. We learn a very different story to the mythology publicly promulgated about one of Interpol’s ‘most wanted’ and how and why he has been targeted by those who see a free press as a threat to their power. We discover how this mythology has been part of both a sustained assault on his credibility as a journalist and publisher and a deliberate enterprise to break his psychological and physical health as an example to others. ‘NOT IN OUR NAME: THE PSYCHOLOGICAL TORTURE OF JULIAN ASSANGE’ is a film that will confound viewers just as the UN Special Rapporteur was confounded when he discovered the truth behind the headlines.
