Doctors say imprisoned Julian Assange is months away from death
Australian doctors have urged the US to dump its prosecution of Julian Assange claiming he has life-threatening conditions which means he could die in the next few months.
Campaign group Doctors for Assange has now written to the new US ambassador Caroline Kennedy citing that recent medical examinations of the whistleblower — who is currently in Belmarsh Prison in the UK awaiting extradition to the US — show he has severe cardiovascular and stress-related medical conditions, including a mini-stroke.
