100%. Yes. If Julian assange appeared in court with physical signs of torture, it would be on every news outlet you could imagine.
But agreed, this YouTube video is pretty goddamn sketchy.
And you don't think they wouldn't use psychological torture like whiteroom torture, sleep deprivation, and many other types of non physical torture that you can look up (if you can stomach what some people put others through) on him. I honesty really hope they aren't torturing the guy, but that doesn't stop me from suspecting they probably are after how much trouble he caused them.
We can speculate forever. We don't have evidence of that. We don't even have Julian assange saying that in his public court appearances.
There would actualy be no benefit of torturing him in secret, it doesnt act as a derrent for others in any way.
