In #JulianAssange's extradition hearing Day 1 we learned he's kept in a bulletproof glass box, making it hard to hear & see his own trial.
Day 2 we learn he was handcuffed 11x the night b4, stripped naked twice, changed cells 5 times.
Papers were taken from him.

This on top of years of prolonged psychological torture & medical neglect, as detailed in The Lancet & by Nils Melzer.
The efforts to break #JulianAssange and undermine him physically & mentally for trial could not be more blatant.
It is obscene and grotesque.

@yanisvaroufakis said yesterday that #Julian has even been denied his exercise entitlement for months.
This is designed to damage him, physically & psychologically. Exercise, like companionship, is among the best natural antidotes to depression.
He's denied both.
By design.

In the Lancet we wrote that psychology and medicine are being abused as political tools to inflict politically motivated harm on #JuluanAssange. Torture and medical neglect.
That's what this is.
To weaken him in the press freedom test case of a lifetime.

I wish I could say they know not what they do. But they know. They know very well.
It's like sitting in the Colosseum watching a bloodsport.
But what will the media do? Cheer? Look away? Justify the abuse? Minimise it?
Or do their jobs. REPORT IT!
Because they're next.
