UN calls for Julian Assange's release from UK high-security jail
UN experts say British government is breaching WikiLeaks publisher’s human rights

UN experts have called for Julian Assange to be released from prison and criticised the British government for breaching his human rights.
The WikiLeaks publisher was jailed for 50 weeks on Wednesday for breaking bail conditions imposed seven years earlier by seeking asylum in the Ecuadorian embassy in London.
The UN working group on arbitrary detention (WGAD) said it was deeply concerned by the “disproportionate sentence” imposed on Assange for violating the terms of his bail, which it described as a “minor violation”.
The group has twice previously called for Assange to be freed, after it judged his confinement to the Ecuadorian embassy by the threat of arrest should he leave amounted to arbitrary detention.
“The working group regrets that the government has not complied with its opinion and has now furthered the arbitrary deprivation of liberty of Mr Assange,” it said in a statement on Friday.
“It is worth recalling that the detention and the subsequent bail of Mr Assange in the UK were connected to preliminary investigations initiated in 2010 by a prosecutor in Sweden. It is equally worth noting that that prosecutor did not press any charges against Mr Assange and that in 2017, after interviewing him in the Ecuadorian embassy in London, she discontinued investigations and brought an end to the case.

“The working group is further concerned that Mr Assange has been detained since 11 April 2019 in Belmarsh prison, a high-security prison, as if he were convicted for a serious criminal offence. This treatment appears to contravene the principles of necessity and proportionality envisaged by the human rights standards.
“The WGAD reiterates its recommendation to the government of the United Kingdom, as expressed in its opinion 54/2015, and its 21 December 2018 statement, that the right of Mr Assange to personal liberty should be restored.”
A government spokesperson said: “The UK has a close working relationship with UN bodies and is committed to upholding the rule of law. Sentencing is a matter for our independent judges, who take into account the full facts of each case, and the law provides those convicted with a right of appeal.”
Assange appeared in court on Thursday via video link from Belmarsh as he began a legal fight against extradition to the US, where he is wanted on charges relating to the publication of secret US files leaked by Chelsea Manning, a US intelligence analyst who was subsequently jailed.
They included approximately 90,000 reports about the war in Afghanistan, 400,000 Iraq war reports and 800,000 Guantánamo Bay detainee assessments, as well as US diplomatic cables.
Assange declined to consent to his extradition, saying: “I do not wish to surrender myself for extradition for doing journalism that has won many, many awards and protected many, many people.”
Estelas en la mar 7 · Estoy hecha de retazo S Estoy hecha de retazos, pedacitos coloridos de cada vida que pasa por la mía y que voy cosiendo en el alma. No siempre son bonitos, ni siempre felices, pero me agregan y me hacen ser quien soy. En cada encuentro, en cada contacto, voy quedando mayor. En cada retazo una vida, una lección, un cariño, una nostalgia... Que me hacen más persona, más humana, más completa. Y pienso que es así como la vida se hace: de pedazos de otras gentes que se van convirtiendo en parte de uno también. Y la mejor parte es que nunca estaremos listos, finalizados. Siempre habrá un retazo para añadir al alma. Por lo tanto, gracias a cada uno de ustedes, que forman parte de mi vida y que me permiten engrandecer mi historia con los retazos dejados en mí. Que yo también pueda dejar pedacitos de mí por los caminos y que puedan ser parte de sus historias. Y que así, de retazo en...
One of the better stories I have read in a long time. Dr. Frank Mayfield was touring Tewksbury Institute when, on his way out, he accidentally collided with an elderly floor maid. To cover the awkward moment Dr. May field started asking questions. "How long have you worked here?" "I've worked here almost since the place opened," the maid replied. "What can you tell me about the history of this place?" he asked. "I don't think I can tell you anything, but I could show you something." With that, she took his hand and led him down to the basement under the oldest section of the building. She pointed to one of what looked like small prison cells, their iron bars rusted with age, and said, "That's the cage where they used to keep Annie Sullivan." "Who's Annie?" the doctor asked. Annie was a young girl who was brought in here because she was incorrigible—nobody could do anything with her. She'd bite and scream ...
http://www.archivohistoricoconcepcion.cl/biblioteca-digital/autores/rolando-saavedra/ He leido con no pocas emociones este magnífico recuento de la historia de la querida familia de la cual heredé dos hijxs maravillosos, Yanina Andrea Hinrichsen Zabaleta, nacida en Concepción, y Tomás Alejo Hinrichsen Zabaleta, nacido durante nuestro exilio con Ricardo Alberto Hinrichsen Ramírez en Glasgow, Escocia. Como casi todo ya está dicho por el autor, no me faltaría tal vez más que agregar algunas fotos de las decenas que atesoro. Mientras decido cual/es, saludo al autor, Don Rolando, y le reitero mi agradecimiento por su esmerado y logrado esfuerzo de investigación para llevar a su conclusión a este valioso nuevo libro suyo que, con su acostumbrada g enerosidad, nos ha compartido.
