London, November 25 (RHC)-- Dozens of doctors have written an open letter to the British home secretary warning WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange’s health is so bad that he could die inside London’s high-security Belmarsh prison.  The more than 60 doctors are calling on the British government to move Assange to a hospital. 

Julian Assange is currently jailed on charges related to his decision to skip bail and take refuge inside the Ecuadorian Embassy to avoid extradition to Sweden amid a sexual assault investigation that have just been dropped for the third time.  Assange now faces possible extradition to the United States, where he faces up to 175 years in prison for his role in publishing U.S. classified documents exposing U.S. war crimes in Iraq and Afghanistan.
