Julian Assange’s fiancée has said that he has suffered a stroke in prison due to the “constant chess game” and “battle after battle” over his future.
The WikiLeaks founder was in a “truly terrible state” at the time of a High Court battle over whether or not he should be extradited to the US, according to his partner Stella Moris.

In an interview with the Mail On Sunday, Ms Moris said: “Julian is struggling and I fear this mini-stroke could be the precursor to a more major attack.
“It compounds our fears about his ability to survive, the longer this long legal battle goes on.
“It urgently needs to be resolved. Look at animals trapped in cages in a zoo. It cuts their life short. That’s what’s happening to Julian. The never-ending court cases are extremely stressful mentally.”
