Here's RT reporting about the situation:
Assange psychologically tortured to ‘breaking point’ by ‘democratic states,’ UN rapporteur tells RT
"Jailed WikiLeaks co-founder Julian Assange shows clear signs of degrading and inhumane treatment which only adds to his deteriorating health, UN Special Rapporteur on Torture Nils Melzer told RT.
Assange has “all the symptoms typical for a person who has been exposed to prolonged psychological torture,” Melzer told RT’s Afshin Rattansi. This adds to the toll of his deteriorating physical state caused by a lack of adequate medical care for several years, he said.
Melzer said he was judging from two decades of experience in working with POWs and political prisoners, and only after applying
“scientific” UN methods to assess Assange’s condition. But the journalist’s case still
“shocked” him." (

Before its news is a very iffy source. Anything posted there needs confirmation.
I was going to say something similar. I was following that site very closely for a long time back in 2013 and often I found it to be extremely unreliable. I concluded it was not worth the time spent on it. (meaning it may sometimes have scoops, but often stuff is made up, exaggerated or simply reported on based on a false or mistaken source)
When I want to share something like this from a questionable site, I simply look for a more reliable site that's reporting on it as if the news is real, it will be being discussed elsewhere.
Whether the linked reportage is flawlessly accurate i know not -- but certainly concerning...

It would be great if you could have included some more information in your post, such as a short excerpt. Note I moved the thread to this board as anything in the current news, whether MSM or alternative media, is appropriate for the "in the news" board. This board also doesn't require registration, where on the Universal Discussion you have to be registered to see threads. (I can understand using that board when you want to have a more private discussion,)
