I don't care what your political opinions are on Assange. This is one of the biggest human rights violations of modern times. Hasn't been charged with crimes, yet has been held imprisoned in the Ecuadorian embassy for 8 years. Now they're trying solitary confinement.
This is what happens when you expose the elite and expose the criminals.
Come on, even he only claimed that he would be re-extradited to the US for questioning (and that was supposedly something Sweden would do if he was extradited there, which isn't even an issue any more.)
His biggest fear at this point is probably that he'll be punished for the bail violation and then left alone without the ability to play martyr anymore.

No, no it's not. Even the worst characterization of it (much less anything reasonably grounded in facts) doesn't come anywhere close to, say, the Rohingya genocide, for just one extremely current example.

He's not imprisoned, he's voluntarily in the embassy. No one is preventing him from leaving.
Also, he is charged with a crime for breaching bail conditions during his extradition case.

Cutting off his internet access isn't solitary confinement.

But he's not imprisoned, is he? He's perfectly free to come out at any time and surrender himself to the UK or Swedish police.

The extradition case itself has since been abandoned.
