Absolutely horrifying read. I couldn't help but think about Julian Assange going through similar treatment in the UK. Just goes to show: All governments are criminal and terrorist organizations, oppressing and enslaving the people.

- perennate 7y agoPlease provide sources for describing incidents where the UK government physically tortured Julian Assange by forcing him to stay awake, or strapped him to a chair so he couldn't move his limbs, or hung from a crossbar and forced into an eagle pose, etc. I doubt there are sources though since I'm pretty sure you just made this up.
