Julian Assange Says He's 'Slowly Dying' In Prison

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange is slurring his speech and worried about dying in prison.

That's according to a new report from British journalist and former Army officer Vaughan Smith.

Gizmodo reports the journalist spoke with Russian state TV network RT on Tuesday.

Smith revealed that Assange called him over the phone from Britain’s Belmarsh prison on Christmas Eve.

Smith said it seemed 'fairly obvious' that Assange was sedated.
