UK Home Office statement on 25 November in response to our letter of 22 November to @GOVUK:
"The allegations Mr. Assange was subjected to torture are unfounded and wholly false. The UK is committed to upholding the rule of law and ensuring that no one is ever above it."
"The allegations Mr. Assange was subjected to torture are unfounded and wholly false. The UK is committed to upholding the rule of law and ensuring that no one is ever above it."
To date, this is the closest thing we have had to a 'response' to our letters of 22 November and 4 December to the UK government and of 16 December to the Australian government.
How does @GOVUK reconcile its "no torture" stance with the unequivocal findings to the contrary of the United Nations Special Rapporteur on Torture, @NilsMelzer? Please see his important letter to UK government of 29 October 2019 (made public today): bit.ly/2ZCygWA
