I read the articles. As I noted I disagree. If he didn't divulge something(s) that also added to his assessment I can't account for that.

Do you have a source to disprove or challenge the UN's definition of torture?

Solitary confinement is often used during war. That Assange is incarcerated in a civilian prison doesn't necessarily diminish or change the effectiveness and impact.
