Subject:  COVID-19 Fears for Julian Assange 

Attention: Lord David Prior (Chair NHS England and NHS Improvement) 

Cc: 
  Senator the Hon Penny Wong (Minister for Foreign Affairs)
  Mr Andrew Wilkie MP (Chair Bring Julian Assange Home Parliamentary Group)

Your Lordship,

I, 'my name' of 'my street' 'my city' 
am writing as a concerned citizen of 'my country'.

I have been following Mr Julian Assange's case and I fear for his life.

You are charged with overall responsibility for the NHS. That also carries sole medical 
responsibility in the UK prison systems.  

Can you: 

  1. Confirm that the NHS will not be swamped by the coronavirus pandemic in the UK? 
  2. Confirm that the NHS can prevent coronavirus infiltrating the UK prison system? 
  3. Confirm adequate resources to isolate and best practices management of a pandemic 
     if the prison systems become infected? 
  4. Confirm you have sufficient medical support being trained staff, ventilators, beds, 
     ICU equipment, adequate protective equipment at hand if your coronavirus 
     containment plans within prisons fail?  
  5. Confirm Julian Assange is fully physically fit and faces zero risk from the 
     coronavirus?  
   
Julian Assange is an unconvicted detainee and his medical condition under long term 
confinement is frail. 

If you cannot answer an unreserved 'YES' to the five questions above, Julian Assange 
must be released to the care of his family immediately.    

Please support Julian's bail application on the grounds of covid-19 risk  

Thank you for your time.

Sincerely,
  'my name'
    ('my email')
