that's unbelievable and julian is contradicting what belmarsh. officials are saying about the spread of corona virus he believes there are much more deaths within the inmate population than the one official count possibly 2 that people are entertaining and that the virus was quote ripping through the prison is what julian said why are the u.k. department of justice not investigating these claims. well not for the 1st time julian is telling the truth and the officials are lying that's in a way the whole point of julian assange as it happens i have very close contact with the prison officers a source. of the prison stuff and i can tell you the corona virus is ripping through belmarsh prison and many other prisons too and they are asked concerned about as we who are concerned about the prison are julian our sons are because it's their members that are going down like flies 150 of their members in belmarsh prison are in self isolation and that's the stuff what about the prisoners it is incredible there's no people there's no mosques there's no gloves

death is confirmed by a 2nd death is denied by is widely held to be true 150 members of stuff of belmarsh prison are on self isolation for fear of having caught the virus it's impossible to conclude of all this then this and i say this with all gravity it is clearly the intention of the british government that julian our son should die in belmarsh jail thus ridding both governments of this turbulent priest this man who did nothing but preach the truth and reveal that it is staggering do your rituals report there are about a supplement to. with my own sources the very bookish on my old man not. seen the 2nd council junior counsel to julian our son she could barely contain his outrage in the court today he was literally quickened with rage and anger he demanded 14 days on the revealing of the identities this was refused by the judge who gave 4 days for the defense now to seek a high court ruling on this matter it is a shame a sordid scandalous shame and i'm ashamed to be british this evening and george it's unbelievable how storen as you said and strange and bizarre julian's case is getting
