Claiming you’re being tortured because you’re going to have to face trial for crimes is like claiming to be tortured by people who post opinions that disagree. Absurd on its face.

> Claiming you’re being tortured because you’re going to have to face trial

No one claims this. Please read the article.

If you believe the claims of the UN Special Rapporteur are without merit, please provide your evidence and/or reasoning.

> Julian Assange has been intentionally psychologically tortured by Sweden, Britain, Ecuador and the U.S.

The only thing the US has done is try to get him extradited to prosecute him. I suppose the argument can be made that he's not afraid of trial, but rather of being incarcerated for his crimes.

Also the second paragraph:

> And third, he is to be extradited to a country that holds people like him in prison conditions that Amnesty International has described as torture.

> [...] could be tortured to death in the United States.

Sorry, but these are just melodrama.
