5. I ask the Swedish government: Why are you refusing to give an assurance that Mr Assange will not be extradited to the US? And why did you refuse to question Mr Assange in the UK? For me, like for many other people, it is clear that those interested in a fair and legal trial have to ensure that Mr Assange is not extradited to the US, where he will face the same fate as Bradley Manning. And I have to say, I am extremely concerned about Bradley Manning and his health. He is still being held in a military prison under terrible conditions. We cannot just close our eyes to these kinds of human rights violations, just because they are committed in the US.
6. Bradley Manning and Julian Assange have both made history and stand for many others who have done so. We have a moral duty to prevent war crimes and to reveal war crimes by publishing information about them. Both men have done that. They truly deserve the Nobel Peace Prize. Others do not.
7. My next steps in this case will involve meeting with British and Swedish diplomats in Berlin in order to discuss a solution to the crisis. I will also try to visit Bradley Manning in the near future. Unfortunately, the US authorities have so far denied my attempts to do so. I therefore have this to say to President Obama: Mr President, open up the wall. Open up the wall of the military prison where Bradley Manning is being held. Mr President, please give human rights a chance. Please let me visit Bradley Manning.
