Assange in health risk

JULIAN Assange’s doctors say his health is at risk due to his six-year confinement in the Ecuadorean embassy in London.

Sondra S Crosby, Brock Chisholm and Sean Love, writing on The Guardian’s website, said they spent 20 hours over three days assessing Mr Assange’s condition.

Without giving any particular details, they said that his confinement has had an impact on his physical and mental health.

The WikiLeaks founder has not stepped out of the Knightsbridge, west London, embassy since August 2012.
