....Härom dagen skrev Assanges far
något liknande efter ett besök. Assanges bror har skrivit till Australiens premiärminister och bett om att något ska göras: "In it, he asked Scott Morrison to do something urgently, because if not, we will lose Julian.”...
Hans fars vittnesmål väger tungt tycker jag. John Shipton, Julians far, har besökt honom i högsäkerhetsfängelset i Belmarsh.
“Shipton said there was a danger that “we will lose Julian” if action is not taken to end his incarceration....
Shipton explained that Assange was “in a cell 20 hours a day and has two social visits a month. Lawyers are allowed there other times. These social visits can be arbitrarily cancelled or reduced in time.”
He related that when he travelled from Australia to London two-and-a-half months ago, “we waited and were told that we couldn’t come” into the prison for a pre-arranged visit with Assange.
“No reason was given,” Shipton said, except that “there were conflicting appointments made with prison doctors to come and see him. So, they use the visiting times to have his medical examiners examine him, which means that a social visit needs to be cancelled.”
Shipton, along with a WikiLeaks staff member and Chinese artist Ai Weiwei, returned the following week for another arranged visit. “We waited 46 minutes for Julian to arrive,” he said. The prison authorities claimed that they had “forgotten” to notify Assange of the visit, “so they had to go and find him and bring him down.”
This resulted in the two-hour visit, which Assange is entitled to, being reduced to just one hour. “To travel all the way from Australia to see Julian and to get only an hour, it seems cruel to me,” Shipton said.

Det är uppenbart att man inte “gullar” med Assange. Hans hälsa undergrävs och han trakasseras på olika sätt.
