to face criminal charges, including breaking a spying law and conspiring to hack government computers.On Thursday, Assange's lawyers told the court that the U.S. government’s assurances about how he would be treated if extradited to the United States do not avert the risk of suicide.
They said that regardless of whether he was technically subject to SAMs the evidence heard during the original extradition hearing showed he would be detained “in conditions of extreme isolation” that could drive him to suicide. Summers said that the report showed there was a risk the CIA could use its powers to certify that Assange should be subjected to SAMs “the moment he sets foot in the USA,” and that the wording of the U.S. assurances would allow that to happen.
