The health of imprisoned WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has deteriorated so drastically that his lawyer says it is not possible to conduct a normal conversation with him.
Swedish outlet Upsala Nya Tidning reports that Assange is so ill that he is now in the hospital wing of the prison.
Wikileaks founder Julian Assanges Swedish lawyer wants the arrest hearing on Monday in Uppsala to be postponed. According to the lawyer, who has now visited his client in British prison, Assange is admitted to the medical department and was unable to make a call, the newspaper reports.
Assange is currently imprisoned at Belmarsh Prison in the United Kingdom and facing eighteen charges under the Espionage Act in the United States for his publication of the Iraq and Afghan War Logs. If extradited and convicted, he could be sentenced to up to 175 years in prison.`
The award-winning publisher is under investigation in Sweden for sex crimes, which he and many of his supporters believe is a setup to get him into the nation where he could be more easily extradited to the United States. A hearing in the case is scheduled for June 3 and Assanges legal team had attempted to get it postponed until his health improved.

I suspect all the “secrets” Assange is accused of stealing is common knowledge among Chinese and Russiam intel operators. We have allowed infiltration of all our sensitive programs for so long, they laugh at us - rightfully so. With Clapper and Brennen heading up foreign intel the US we have been the laughing stock of the world. I kid you not!!
And what bothers me is that no one seems to care.
Western (including American) police state tactics have now devolved to North Korean levels. He appears to be getting the Warmbier treatment. I wonder which American DS operative ordered Assanges being held incommunicado?
sorry about those repeat posts - I was talking to someone when posting and not paying attention.
The CIA wants him dead.
He knows Russians did not give him the DNC e-mails.
Seth Rich did.
POST OF THE DAY!!-POST OF THE DAY!
Yeah. The old ricin umbrella trick. Shame.
In all honesty, I’m a little surprised that he’s still alive.
Mueller lied today.
______
I do too.
>Yeah. The old ricin umbrella trick. Shame.
polonium umbrella, not ricin
BINGO!!!!
But, but, but Muley said the Ruskies hacked Queen(sized)Pantsiut’s server.....
No one cared (actually they “cared”, they did it on purpose) until Trump became president.
The situation is different now.
It seems a lot of people here think that Brennan is still head of the CIA or something.
Either that or that Trump isn’t doing anything. Sheesh.
I really hope that he has set up a dead-man-switch that will unavoidably release everything he has in the event of his untimely demise.
We have been watching the slow-motion assassination of Julian Assange. They have been choking him to death by tactical psyops, siege tactics, and wilful neglect as surely as if they placed a noose tied around his neck, not just in Belmarsh Prison but in the embassy as well. The only difference between his execution and someone on death row is the same as the difference between covert and overt warfare, which makes sense because the intelligence, judicial and military agencies who are carrying out his death sentence operate within the same power structure which carries out war. First came the smears (propaganda), then came the siege (sanctions), and they staged their coup (dragged him out of the embassy) and now theyve got him in their clutches and they can do what they want behind closed doors. Thats how you kill a nation while still looking like a nice guy, and thats how theyre killing Assange, independent journalist Caitlin Johnstone wrote of his conditions.
The big question on my mind is: Does Assange have an avenue set up (Wikileaks buddies or whomever, or automated switch) for the release of all his remaining information in the event of his demise?
He knows more than he’s divulged thus far.
Yeah. That one baloneyum
They are going to kill him.
Anyone could hack Hillary’s unsecured server and many probably did.
The DNC e-mails weren’t hacked, Seth Rich copied them onto a thumb drive.
I believe it.
My first thought as well. Prayers for him.
