"WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has suffered psychological torture from a defamation campaign and should not be extradited to the United States where he would face a "politicised show trial", a UN human rights investigator says. ..."
I wonder if he'd be suffering from that if he faced up to his alleged sins.
This bit is interesting and possibly at the heart of the problem.
"Assange in an August 2010 interview called it "regrettable" sources disclosed by WikiLeaks could be harmed, but said WikiLeaks was "not obligated to protect other people's sources," according to the indictment."

The problem is he's supposedly an ally of the US given he's an Aussie (was he living in the US at the time?). He may not have a legal obligation (he may) but surely he has a moral one. It's kind of like saying "That girl across the road was being beaten but I had no obligation to help her because she's someone else's child".
If you believe in the Aussie/US way of life you have an obligation to abide by its rules. If you don't believe then you're the enemy.
Here are some interesting articles.

Although Wikileaks may now be separated from Julian Assange, this claims Wikileaks was used in 2011 as a Rothschild operation to discredit their Swiss banking rival, after JA was groomed from 2008 when Wikileaks was awarded The Economist’s New Media Award.
The Rothschilds began grooming Julian Assange in 2008, when Wikileaks was awarded The Economist’s New Media Award. The Economist is the voice of Britain’s establishment (led by the British Rothschilds) which has, for example, on balance, supported Britain’s involvement in the Iraq war. Sir Evelyn Robert Adrian de Rothschild was chairman of The Economist from 1972 to 1989. His wife Lynn Forester de Rothschild currently sits on The Economist’s board. The Rothschild family also has a large shareholder interest in The Economist.
At first blush, it is incredulous that the The Economist, the pinnacle of the establishment, would give their award to Assange knowing full well that he was releasing classified government documents and being overly aware of the havoc this will create in the world. The Rothschilds’ oft- stated goal (over the centuries) is for a One World Government (i.e. The New World Order). To this end they engineer conflict between nations, to create crises that will then be utilized to increase the power of international entities – the UN, World Bank, IMF, etc. For example, they (and other closely-related families like the Schiffs) financed the Bolsheviks. In the past, the Rothschild empire have profited by bankrolling both sides of war.
US senator Joe Lieberman is the Rothschild’s point man in America. During the last presidential election, he took his friend, Republican candidate John McCain to Jacob Rothschild’s house for a fund-raiser for McCain. Lieberman is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations (a Rothschild cabal which is essentially the shadow government of the US). Lieberman’s recent actions resulted in cutting off the money supply of Wikileaks: Paypal, Mastercard, Visa, stopped accepting donations for Wikileaks. Lieberman publicly took credit for censoring Wikileaks’ website by pressuring Amazon to stop hosting the website. The result was that Anonymous hactivists launched attacks on the websites of companies (above) which had discontinued service to Wikileaks. Lieberman’s campaign against Wikileaks had the effect of increasing the martyrdom and hence the popularity of Assange and Wikileaks. Lieberman made Assange a star, nearly becoming Time magazine’s Man of The Year.
Julian Assange’s lawyer is Mark Stephens of Finers Stephens Innocent, a major London elite law firm. They are the legal adviser to the Rothschild’s prestigious Waddesdon Trust.
Assange’s main media partner is The Guardian. The Guardian has been infiltrated by Rothschilds. The Guardian is controlled by Guardian Media Group whose chairman is Paul Myners a past employee of N. M. Rothschild Limited & Sons Limited. Guardian Media Group is owned by Scott Trust which became a limited private company in 2008 with all trustees becoming directors of the Scott Trust. Anthony Salz was appointed as a trustee of Scott Trust in 2009: He is currently executive vice-chairman of the investment Bank Rothschild.
The Guardian gave the US cables to the current New York Times. The chairman of the NYT is Arthur Sulzberger Jr., a member of the Council on Foreign Relations. He is the son of Arthur Ochs Sulzberger and grandson of Arthur Hays Sulzberger who served as a Trustee for the Rockefeller Foundation (in cahoots with Rothschilds for One World Government).
After a time in a real prison, Assange was “imprisoned” in a countryside mansion at the home of Vaughan Smith, the owner of Frontline Trust, a news organization that seeks to influence TV journalists. Frontline is funded by George Soros’ organization, Open Society Institute, and George Soros is intimately intertwined with the Rothschilds. George Soros has been a frequent business partner with James Goldsmith (father of Jemima Khan and cousin of the Rothschilds). The director of Soros’ Open Society Institute, Richard Katz was director of N M Rothschild & Sons for 16 years. Other board members like Nils Taube also hold positions in Rothschild banks, etcetera. On October 25 and July 27 this year, Assange was a speaker at Vaughan Smith’s Frontline Trust.
I'm sitting on the fence to see how this develops and like to consider all that's being written. The ownerships of the news papers mentioned does check out but it's possible JA and wikileaks aren't connected now as they were.Very little trust in that article I'll be honest.
We don't need to know every little detail though, for stated reasons. Is 'our side' guilty of war crimes? We ALL know it is, but so is the other side. Is Assange publishing as much info about them as he is about us and putting lives of the enemy at risk by doing so, or is most of the published stuff simply aimed at 'our side'?I'm not going to pretend to know the Assange situation itself in and out, but in general, the Aussie/US way of life should surely be transparent governments...which we clearly don't have in the wake of Afghanistan/Iraq etc. If wanting corrupt officials exposed means I don't believe in the 'Aussie' way of life, then so be it.

I think it's just that the biggest cache he got that was authentic happened to come from 'our side'.
On media and propaganda.
Nice to see 4 Corners gave equal time to the 'other side' in the debate... Absolute rubbish from them as usual.Here is the 4 corners episode on the sexual assault allegations against Assange .
She did not seem to disturbed with him the day after the event. You do wonder if the girls have been convinced they were wronged.

This is where the story originated from.I read mr a is in hospital unable to speak anyone else read this ?

In other words it's normal for governments to take action against people who publish secret government info.The AFP are raiding the home of News Corp Australia journalist Annika Smethurst over a story about a secret government plan to spy on Australians. The story went to press last year and the govt at the time declined to comment, three weeks after the election she's raided.
Journalists in Australia might now be a bit more sympathetic to Assange's plight but he can probably expect no help from our government.
The story, published in April 2018, said the Defence and Home Affairs ministries were discussing radical new espionage powers that would see Australia’s cyber spy agency, the Australian Signals Directorate, monitor Australian citizens for the first time.
Under the plan, emails, bank accounts and text messages of Australians could be secretly accessed by digital spies without a trace, provided the Defence and Home Affairs ministers approved.
