Earlier this week, a London court sentenced Julian Assange to 50 weeks in prison for breaching bail by going into hiding in the Ecuadorian embassy in 2012.
UN rights experts expressed concern on Friday over the detention terms of the famous whistleblower. According to the experts, Assange is being kept in Belmarsh Prison “as if he were convicted for a serious criminal offence”.
The experts concluded that the terms appeared “to contravene the principles of necessity and proportionality”.
