Quote:Julian Assange had a stroke in Belmarsh Prison in the United Kingdom, and his fiancée, Stella Moris, suggested it was triggered by the stress generated by his ongoing time in jail.
Assange, the 50-year-old WikiLeaks founder, is being held at the maximum-security jail in London. Yesterday, the High Court ruled that Assange can be extradited to the United States to be tried for espionage.
This ruling had overturned a previous ruling by a lower court, saying Assange could not be extradited to the United States due to his mental health.
The mini-stroke has left Assange with a drooping right eyelid, memory problems, and signs of neurological damage. A ‘transient ischaemic attack’ – “mini stroke” caused by a temporary disruption in the blood supply to part of the brain – can be a warning sign of a full stroke. Assange has since had an MRI scan and is now taking anti-stroke medication.
Moris told TheDailyMail, “Julian is struggling and I fear this mini-stroke could be the precursor to a more major attack.”
