Assange's lawyer says his health is getting worse

This was reported to RIA Novosti by a member of the lawyer team of the founder of WikiLeaks Renat Avila.

“Obviously, his health is deteriorating, besides, enormous stress and emotional shock must be taken into account. Inability to properly build up your defense, training in such limited conditions only aggravate the matter, ”she said.

Earlier, the Westminster Magistrate's Court of London adjourned from February to May substantive hearings in the case of the extradition of Assange.

In December 2019, UN Special Rapporteur on Torture Nils Meltzer stated that Assange was subjected to psychological torture, which posed a threat to his life.

Meltzer recalled that when he visited a prison in Great Britain in May at Assange, "clinically measurable consequences of psychological torture" were noticeable, "certain cognitive abilities were already impaired then."
