The term “Dying” reflects to getting tortured to death.

    I couldn’t find news articles from the BBC, or Al Jazeera, or reuters to substantiate this report

      Dude if he was getting tortured to death do you really think the government funded BBC would tell us about it🤣🤣🤣.

      Everyone treats Edward Snowden like the hero he is only because he didn’t get caught and he left in time to not have a fake sexual misconduct charge slapped on him to sway public opinion.

      This man leaked a bunch of the US intelligence agencies tools and techniques for spying on people, including spyware that hides in the firmware of an Apple thunderbolt Ethernet adapter.

      Obviously the government hates this man and has done everything in their power to bring him down.

      Seriously read into the CIA’s or NSA’s misconduct in the past( like giving anything that breathed LSD in the name of science, including people with mental illnesses and prisoners of war) and tell me these guys wouldn’t lie to the public because they don’t want all their dirt leaked. And after catching the person do something horrible to him for revenge and not tell anyone.

      But at the same time I wouldn’t consider a random YouTube channel asking for money a credible source any more then I would consider government funded propaganda a credible source outside of sports news.

        100%. Yes. If Julian assange appeared in court with physical signs of torture, it would be on every news outlet you could imagine.

        But agreed, this YouTube video is pretty goddamn sketchy.

          And you don’t think they wouldn’t use psychological torture like whiteroom torture, sleep deprivation, and many other types of non physical torture that you can look up (if you can stomach what some people put others through) on him. I honesty really hope they aren’t torturing the guy, but that doesn’t stop me from suspecting they probably are after how much trouble he caused them.

            We can speculate forever. We don’t have evidence of that. We don’t even have Julian assange saying that in his public court appearances.

            There would actualy be no benefit of torturing him in secret, it doesnt act as a derrent for others in any way.

      He is not dying by the means of passing away but he is getting tortured to death.

    Summary from notegpt

    🎥 Summary:

    • Julian Assange is being held at Belmarsh Prison in solitary confinement for 23 hours a day, which is slowly diminishing his well-being and hope.

    • The left and newspapers like The Guardian have turned against Julian, contributing to his incarceration and vilification.

    • If we want to defend our right to know about government actions and crimes against humanity, we must support Julian Assange.

    • Julian Assange is fighting for our right to know and is dying for it.

    The nations perpetrating and supporting this should never be allowed to talk about press freedom ever again.

    Dude is a right wing provocateur and they’re complaining that left wing press won’t help?

    Cry me a river.

      So you think it’s okay for somebody to be tortured if they’re on the wrong side of the political aisle?

      What has he done that you perceive as right wing? As far as I’ve seen, he’s always been anti-establishment and pro-transparency, two things I would not associate with right wing ideologies.

        Don’t put words in my mouth.

        This shithead selectively leaked to help Trump win.

        It’s sick to see this post try to blame liberals for not jumping to his rescue. It’s like saying we should have more tolerance for intolerance.

          You should have respect for human life. Regardless of whether he intentionally tried to help Trump, the actions taken against him are completely unjustified and would be considered a war crime if done against a prisoner of war.

            I’m choosing not to get worked up about a rapist stuck in jail cause he wore out his welcome with other scumbags.

            I will save my concern for an actual political prisoner.

          It’s funny what you say, because he never was selecting between what to leak or not. He’s only got leaks and published those no matter what. So you’re accusing the anonymous leaker rather than Julian, to help Trump win, that leaker whose identity we still don’t know of, because Julian Assange was only a safe middleman for them. And looks like he fairly well did his job.

          This is one of the points, why we think it is unaccaptable to have him tortured to death.

          Then fucking process him according to our laws, like we do with every other Trump ally. Don’t just keep him locked up in solitary confinement indefinitely ‘awaiting trial’.

          This Chelsea Manning-esque treatment is not how we’ve done things for any other Trump ally. What did Assange do that specifically deserves the quiet Guantanamo treatment?

          Is it really so hard to be somewhat consistent with our own fucking rulebook?
