More than 100 doctors have urged Australia to lobby for imprisoned WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange to be returned home for urgent medical treatment.
The group has written an open letter to Foreign Minister Marise Payne calling for the 48-year-old to be returned to Australia.
"Should Mr Assange die in a British prison, people will want to know what you, minister, did to prevent his death," the letter says.
Mr Assange is in Belmarsh Prison, a high-security London jail, awaiting a full hearing in Feburary.
