Nils Melzer dit
:
«Il s’agit en fait de l’éléphant dans la salle dont personne ne parle. On ne parle pas de l’éléphant parce qu’on a un puissant projecteur pointé sur nous, et cet éléphant est le fait que, même s’il y a des rapports et des preuves de crimes de guerre, il n’y a aucune conséquence. Ça, c’est le grand scandale.»

about Julian Assange
)
:
"Mojí nejvážnější obavou je to, že by pan Assange byl ve Spojených státech vystaven reálnému riziku vážného porušování lidských práv, včetně svobody projevu, práva na spravedlivý soud a zákazu mučení a dalších krutých, nehumánních či ponižujících forem zacházení nebo trestů,"
