extradition

Mr Assange's prolonged solitary confinement is neither necessary nor proportionate and clearly lacks any legal basis, said Nils Melzer.

A former employee of the UK’s Hong Kong consulate says he was tortured on a trip to mainland China and forced to confess to involvement in pro-democracy protests.

A UN expert who visited Julian Assange in a London prison says he fears his human rights could be seriously violated if he is extradited to the United States, and condemned the "deliberate and concerted abuse inflicted for years" on the Wikileaks co-founder.

The UK’s Financial Conduct Authority dropped its criminal investigation into the case in November 2018.
