Nils Melzer, the UN’s special rapporteur on torture, said that if Assange was sent to the US, he would be “exposed to a real risk of serious violations of his human rights”. Mr Melzer also attacked what he called “a relentless and unrestrained campaign of public mobbing, intimidation and defamation against Assange” in the UK, US, Sweden and Ecuador, including by politicians and members of the judiciary.
