(51,590 posts)to get him an extended stay.In a statement, Anderson a frequent guest of Assanges since they were introduced in 2014 said: Im deeply concerned about his health and well-being. His human rights have been abused before without sunlight but this is extraordinary. Incommunicado. No visitors. No internet. No phone calls. No access to outside world.

(118,282 posts)A woman complains he had sex with her while she was unconscious, and without using a condom -- so Assange accuses her of being a CIA agent trying to set him up. He flees to the UK where, after losing a long court battle jumps bail to avoid extradition on the sex charge, he hides in an embassy for years -- a situation he and his lawyers rather oddly describe as being "detained without charge." Perhaps the oddest episode, during his time as a guest of the embassy, occurred in June 2013, when Assange announced Ecuador was supplying Snowden with refugee papers, a claim the Ecuadorian soon afterwards denied: the document did exist, but it had somehow been produced on computers in the embassy, without authorization
