Visit to Belmarsh
„Having just visited Julian Assange at Belmarsh, a quick message (on our way out) from Roger Waters, Julian Assange and me. Free Julian!“

The thing is: I can only report on the Assange case bit by bit because, in total, the events are so monstrous that no one can comprehend or grasp them.
However, my summary can always be distilled down to a single statement:
#Free Assange
What the former Icelandic Minister of the Interior, Ogmundur Jonasson, has to say is quite revealing:
At the end of June 2011, the FBI contacted the Icelandic Ministry of the Interior with information that sensitive Icelandic infrastructures could be under cyberattack.
On August 25, 2011, FBI agents arrived in Iceland. It turned out that the information about cyberattacks was just a pretext, and the FBI was actually seeking a 'collaborator' who was willing to compromise or 'frame' Assange.
Jonasson further speculates that an international dimension was intended to be added to the pursuit of Assange with the help of a European ally.
Jonasson refused, citing 'democratic' reasons, as he puts it.
He emphasizes that the WikiLeaks disclosures had significant democratic value for Iceland and that the public needed to be awakened. In his view (and mine as well), Assange can only be freed through public pressure.
By the way, the FBI employees were expelled from Iceland and continued to Scandinavia."

"The ASSANGE AFFAIR, a story of political persecution by Nils Melzer, published by Éditions Critiques. Here is an important book that will be very useful for informing the public about the persecution and torture of Julian Assange in England.
It sets the record straight on the charges against the Australian journalist.
The author, Nils Melzer, is a global authority in his field. He served as the UN Special Rapporteur on Human Rights for years.
Since 2019, he has put his expertise at the service of Julian Assange's defense, after being approached by those close to him.
It was notably him who, in 2019, along with several recognized doctors, sounded the alarm about the ongoing psychological torture suffered by Julian Assange in Belmarsh Prison in England.
He also does not shy away from denouncing the hypocrisy of the United States and Western countries:
"The U.S. government justifies defamation, humiliation, and intimidation against Julian Assange by invoking freedom of expression. But when Assange reveals evidence of war crimes, torture, or corruption, suddenly freedom ceases to apply."
Awareness
In his book, Nils Melzer recounts his experience with this dramatic case, step by step. He chooses a first-person narrative, immersive and particularly honest.
One of the most touching passages in the book is his admission that before taking a closer look at the case, he actually had a very negative opinion of Julian Assange, readily considering him a narcissist, a rapist, irresponsible, and so on.
As an educated man and an expert in his field, he admits to having been misled by the media on this matter. He even goes so far as to describe the profound upheaval that occurred in him when he became aware of his own blindness:
"I slowly began to realize the prejudices that had clouded my judgment and led me to summarily dismiss Assange's initial appeal three months earlier. What troubled me most was the self-righteous complacency and unshakable certainty with which I had accepted as unquestionable fact a largely uncorroborated narrative."
An Alarm Call
Upon reading the book, we are struck by the author's honesty and the meticulous attention he pays to every detail of his experience. He describes his encounter with Julian Assange in Belmarsh Prison, where the latter has been held since May 2019. He details the inhumane conditions of Julian Assange's detention, the psychological torture he endures in his 6-square-meter cell, the repeated efforts of British authorities to hinder the defense from organizing, and more.
In the end, Nils Melzer issues an alarm call. If we do nothing, Julian Assange will be extradited to the United States and die in an American prison. All for simply doing his job as a journalist.
If the persecution of Assange does not come to an end, it can be asserted that freedom of information is greatly threatened in the West, by those who claim to set an example in human rights.
As Nils Melzer aptly puts it, 'the criminalization of his publications sets a dangerous precedent for investigative journalism as a whole.'
This book serves the public interest. It will also trouble the consciences of those who remained silent in the face of what can legitimately be considered the Dreyfus Affair of the 21st century.

Torture report is definitely something she can show. I don‘t know if it will be sufficient.
