Stella Morris on Assange’s Health and Detention Conditions

Stella Morris, the spouse of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, has voiced concern about her partner’s health, describing a noticeable decline in wellbeing. She spoke at a conference organized by a Swiss media association, underscoring that for over a decade, Assange has lived under severe restrictions that significantly limit his freedom. Morris contrasted the conditions of his 2010 to present situation, noting a shift from confinement within a compact space to a higher-security environment that limits movement and privacy. The situation has drawn attention to the lasting impact of long-term detention on mental and physical health, especially under continuous surveillance and restricted activity. Morris described the sense of captivity as ongoing and emphasized that the health challenges his body faces are not simply a matter of routine illness but part of a broader pattern of deprivation and stress. The discussion highlighted the toll of years spent in restrictive settings, where access to medical care and opportunities for normal life are tightly controlled.
