WikiLeaks founder struggling with mental issue: Psychiatrist

A psychiatrist, who has visited WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange – who is languishing in a prison located in the United Kingdom, has raised alarm about the deteriorating mental condition of the journalist – who is wanted in the United States for a serious crime.

A petition seeking the extradition of the journalist is pending in a court based in the United Kingdom.

The finding of the psychiatrist has the potential to influence the outcome of the UK court’s verdict on the extradition petition filed by the US.

As per a statement released by the psychiatrist, Mr. Assange’s mental condition is too worse that he hears imaginary voices.

Mr. Assange was an extremely popular journalist. He was known for his uncompromising attitude.

He was very vocal against the US. He was the one who unearthed several unpleasant stories regarding the US forces’ activities in the war-embattled regions in the Middle East.

Many see Mr. Assange as a victim of the anti-democratic attitude of the United States of America.

The journalist community has already expressed their support to the embattled journalist.

Many renowned personalities have come forward to extend their support to the journalist – who was pushed behind iron bars for showing justice to his job.
