An extraordinary interview with Professor Nils Melzer, United Nations Special Rapporteur on Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment on the Julian Assange case. A rape charge with trumped-up evidence in Sweden, pressure from the UK not to drop the case, a biased judge, detention in a high-security prison, psychological torture – and soon extradition to the US, where he can faces 175 years in prison. For the first time, UN Special Rapporteur on Torture, Nils Melzer, talks in detail about the explosive findings of his investigation into the case of Wikileaks founder Julian Assange.
The Swedish police made up a rape story Ryser: Nils Cambodia WhatsApp Number Data Melzer, why is the UN Special Rapporteur on Torture interested in Julian Assange? Melzer: The German Foreign Ministry asked me this question recently: Is Julian Assange really your main mandate? Is Assange a victim of torture? Read also: It is suspected that the Greek mobster was executed by hired killers from Albania Can SPAK turn into a killer of democracy? Ryser: What was your response? Melzer: The issue falls squarely under my mandate in three different ways: First, Assange published evidence of systematic torture. But instead of those responsible as the perpetrators of torture, it is Assange who is being persecuted.
Second, he himself has been abused to the point where he is now showing symptoms of psychological torture. And third, he will be extradited to a country that holds people like him in prison conditions that Amnesty International has described as torture. In summary: Torture whistleblower Julian Assange has himself been tortured and may be tortured to death in the United States. And shouldn't a case like that be supposed to be part of my area of responsibility?! Beyond that, the issue has symbolic importance and affects every citizen of a democratic country. Ryser: Why didn't you get the case much earlier? Melzer: Imagine a dark room. Suddenly, someone lights up the room: an elephant is in the middle of it – that is, war criminals and corruption.
