Assange is a political prisoner and clearly his treatment and situation is different from the rest, so a comparison isn't helpful.

The source is the United Nations Special Rapporteur on Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment. It's linked in the very top of TFA. Sorry you don't like the truth and are yourself trying to dance around it

Why does it matter if he's a political prisoner, or a shoplifter? He's either being tortured, or he's not.

I have read TFA, I have read its sources, and I see no evidence that points to him currently being tortured, as I have said three times in this thread. Is there a specific passage that you would like to highlight?
