and he served his time too and he's now on remand it's highly unusual to put a remand prisoner in belmarsh when they're not a threat of a physical violence threat to society i think we need some are answers from from the british government why are they treating him like this why can't we have some independent assessment 100 international got to those and asked to arrange a visit at least to send some representatives to check on him but that hasn't been allowed nils meltzer the un rocketeer on torture has been very clear about asylum just mistreatment and describes it in the most of hauling terms and yet his claims very recently in november that the british government of completely ignored his request to see julian probably his health properly assess. and sons' he was arrested in april and since then medics and un observers have warned about is the climbing physical and mental health hearing in february will decide on his extradition to the united states who is accused there of publishing classified military documents and could face 175 years in jail. now the british home office has refuted

dies in belmarsh prison as i say look no further from here after the un is warning the british government i think it was an absolute be an absolute tragedy 1st of all for to listen to yourself and for the cause he stands for but also for the british society and their system and the credibility of the british state as a rule of law state but we also know that the reasons the us wants to extradite him for is a classic case of a political offense and the u.k. law prohibits extradition for political offenses the european convention against human for human rights would prohibit it the convention against torture would prohibit it the international covenant on civil and political rights prohibits it there is no discussion that this extradition could lawfully go forward to in my view this whole detention now at present has no legal basis we invite the u.s. investors london ambassador johnson on the show to see if we can refute what you're saying special thank you very much after the break the foreign minister of ecuador graham long who helped grant julian assange just try limit his embassy in lon

what i think secure units or belmarsh prison which is the high security prison in london i think that should be used in a more stronger way and we've got an audio problem in this country are far right extremism and terrorism that's a massively on the rise we've seen a number of plots there been foiled and people are being convicted for that so that you know it's a big ground we could have managed up in a better way and it's gone through resources but also it's done by the moms and scholars and muslim organizations and mainstream organizations been able to get into those prisons to educate those prisoners to make sure that they realize that terrorism is evil or wrong and is not supported by any faith. similar measures are in place across england and wales for those convicted of sexual offenses and i think this is possibly what the public are are really responding to that you've got a group one group of criminals perhaps not a series of terrorists i think people would agree so why especially special treatment for for what are must murders by another name for a long time there was no. ce
