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.

Well, that’s one way to get around the Hague Service Convention, I s’pose....
The CIA wants him dead.
He knows Russians did not give him the DNC e-mails.
Seth Rich did.
His self imposed prison in an embassy has taken its toll.
Agree or disagree with him; he has left a mark.
Exactly
He’s one of those folks that I don’t think can handle imprisonment and no contact with laptops or the internet. A lot of this would be withdrawal symptoms from IT world. Once they said he might be doing a full-year of prison in the UK, and probably a couple of years in Sweden...he went off in the bad way.
POISON?
Apparently he has been (or at least acting to be) sick for quite a while. Notice how we never hear what is wrong with him - no diagnosis, that I’ve seen.
Maybe he’s not sick and just dodging his legal troubles.
His AIDS acting up again?
I always thought the deep-state had no interest in making a martyr of him
They will just keep him isolated, bore the public with a very long trial, control info flow about him, and let him die
I feel badly for Julian Assange.
I watched Sean Hannity interview him and I believed Assange.
This is murder. He was not ill and dying when he arrived.
He looked as sick as Hillary
He’s been injected with some crazy juice.
Arkancide!
No doubt he’s being slowly poisoned.
I hope he doesn’t die. I’m praying for him
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.
