Listening to various reports about the treatment of Julian Assange, it is logical to assume that his imprisonment in Belmarsh is a ministry of defence rather than government decision. The uk are obviously complicit. Listening to the uk media over the years, a recurring theme when the mod are in controversy is to focus on what the u.s. are doing, the implication being they are far worse. Often diverges to a picture of naive Britain being lead by the u.s., can’t say no etc. A regular theme in the British press.
Various doctors and thought to be supporters of human rights have assessed Julian’s treatment as psychological+ torture but instead of calling for his immediate release have deviated to the treatment he would get in the u.s. if extradited. Are the u.n. complicit in the wars? And if so is the u.n. special rapporteur, independent?
