Lawyers who are representing the US in the extradition trial of Julian Assange have told the court they believe the case was misled by his psychiatrist
The United States is currently engaged in an intense legal battle to have the Wikileaks founder extradited, with no luck so far.
In January, the court held that Assange was suffering from severe mental health issues meaning he could not be transferred to America.
Assange is wanted by American authorities for publishing thousands of classified documents between 2010 and 2011.
The documents detail how US military personnel killed hundreds of civilians in Afghanistan which were never reported to the public.
Meanwhile, the documents also state that 66-thousand people were killed and many tortured by Iraqi forces.
Whilst the United States alleges that Assange broke the law… critics say the case is politically motivated.
Lawyers for Assange say the risk of suicide would be “imminent the moment extradition becomes likely”.
