Lawyer: Prosecution tries to minimize the severity of Assange's mental disorder

“The prosecution tried to minimize the severity of Mr. Assange's mental illness and the risk of suicide.

However, the judge relied on an undeniable diagnosis of long-term depressive disorder, a family history of depression and suicide, as well as three previous episodes of depression and hospitalization for a cut in the wrist, ”the defense quoted RIA Novosti.

On October 28, the High Court of London continues to consider the US appeal against the ban on Assange's extradition to the States.

Earlier in London, protests were held by supporters of the founder of WikiLeaks Julian Assange.
