Assange Faces Suicide Risk If Extradited to US, His Psychiatrist Claims

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange's psychiatrist, Michael Kopelman, told a British court on September 22, that his client heard “imaginary voices and music” in prison. In an extradition hearing, Kopelman said Assange faces a ‘high suicide risk’, owing to his “severe depression”, if he is extradited to US. Earlier, Assange’s wife had also expressed similar concerns about his mental health. Assange is facing espionage charges  for leaking top US military secrets.
