100 doctors ask government to evacuate Assange to Australian hospital | rharris334 bevanshields
A group of doctors has asked Foreign Minister Marise Payne to evacuate Julian Assange to an Australian hospital amid claims the WikiLeaks founder's health is rapidly deteriorating and that he "might die" in a London prison.
"It is an extremely serious matter for an Australian citizen’s survival to be endangered by a foreign government obstructing his human right to health," the doctors say in a letter. Assange is sought by the US, where he faces a sentence of 175 years if found guilty of computer fraud and obtaining and disclosing national defence information.
