I‘m dying slowly but unstoppable

And I fear, as well as the press freedom and democracy with me.

Julian Assange has been held in a small cell within Britain’s high-security Belmarsh Prison in London since April 2019.

I’m dying. Slowly, but unstoppable. I am exhausted and have lost much weight.

The solitary confinement in Belmarsh kills me. There is only sparse contact with the outside world. All because I made war crimes public. To open the eyes of society and show what governments are keeping quiet about.

I’m dying. And I fear, as well as the press freedom and democracy with me.
