An investigation has been launched after a Brazilian man, who was reportedly a friend of Julian Assange and was being held on the same wing as the WikiLeaks founder in Belmarsh prison in south-east London, died on Monday.
The prisons and probation ombudsman confirmed that an investigation was under way into the death of a man named as Manoel Santos. Stella Moris, Assange’s partner, spoke out about Santos’s death on Twitter.
