TADEAS:

SPIEGEL ONLINE: What are his conditions of detention?

Anderson: He sits alone in his small cell for at least 23 hours a day. He can not send letters because he does not have an address book. He does not get any books from the prison library. He gets no files to prepare for his extradition. He gets no news except for the BBC and Chanel 4 on a small TV, but the guards took it away.

...

Anderson: Yes, there is a terrible slander campaign against him in progress. I've just been in Texas, and the way that Assange is being reported there is such a thing that people think, "We're bringing him here with his head skewered on a stick."

...

Anderson: I do. There will be no justice for Julian Assange without public pressure. We have to be strong and clear. When I met Julian in prison, he said to me, Save my life.

An interview with Michael Sontheimer

S. Maurizi:

1. 4 years ago,I started our #FOIA after talking to an Italian magistrate who told me: our Giovanni Falcone flew to Brazil to question mafia bosses such a #Buscetta, but these Swedish prosecutors cannot fly to London to question #Assange?

2. the magistrate told me:you should try to discover why the Swedish don't want to fly there.Thanks to our #FOIA,we have unearthed that the UK #CrownProsecutionService contributed to create the legal-diplomatic quagmire which kept #Assange #arbitrarilyDetained for the last 9YEARS

It's amazing that the new Swedish prosecutor is now suggesting conducting a video-interview. Something that Assange asked for already in September 2010, but back then, the old prosecutor Marianne Ny lied that it was illegal. https://t.co/44Nyde5xqY

GUSTAVTUTRE:

Note: Assange is still not charged.

The prosecutor has emphasised that reopening the preliminary investigation does not reflect a decision on whether an indictment will be filed against Assange.

Chelsea Manning Released from Alexandria Detention Center After Grand Jury Lapses | The Sparrow Project
https://www.sparrowmedia.net/2019/05/chelsea-manning-released-from-alexandria-detention-center/

Today marked the expiration of the term of the grand jury, and so, after 62 days of confinement, Chelsea was released from the Alexandria Detention Center earlier today.

“Unfortunately, even prior to her release, Chelsea was served with another subpoena. This means she is expected to appear before a different grand jury, on Thursday, May 16, 2019, just one week from her release today.

“It is therefore conceivable that she will once again be held in contempt of court, and be returned to the custody of the Alexandria Detention Center, possibly as soon as next Thursday, May 16.

DER SPIEGEL: So, what do you expect from the German politicians or the government?

Hrafnsson: I would like to see more spine. It's about drawing a line in the sand, it's not about the person of Julian Assange, it's not about whether you like him or not, but about the core principles at stake. If we sacrifice this one, my god, we're in a pretty nasty territory.

The Working Group is further concerned that Mr. Assange has been detained since 11 April 2019 in Belmarsh prison, a high-security prison, as if he were convicted for a serious criminal offence. This treatment appears to contravene the principles of necessity and proportionality envisaged by the human rights standards

WikiLeaks: The US is indeed investigating Assange for publishing secret information, DOJ letter suggests – netzpolitik.org
https://netzpolitik.org/...estigating-assange-for-publishing-secret-information-doj-letter-suggests/

The United States is officially charging Julian Assange for hacking, a crime seemingly perfect for extradition. However, the US Attorney’s Office is also investigating him for „obtaining and disseminating secret information“, punishable by death. That is what the Department of Justice wrote in a letter we now publish.
