#Ukraine has murdered #Gonzalo #Lira.
a frail Gonzalo himself scribbled this note to his sister from prison, which his father said he received on January 4th:
"I have had double pneumonia (both lungs) as well as pneumothorax and a very severe case of edema (swelling of the body). All this started in mid-October, but was ignored by the prison. They only admitted I had pneumonia at a Dec. 22 hearing. I am about to have a procedure to reduce the edema pressure in my lungs, which is causing me extreme shortness of breath, to the point of passing out after minimal activity, or even just talking for 2 minutes."
There is not much else to say. Lira was a controversial figure due to his previous stint as a dating advice coach, but that did not make him deserving of death by the Ukrainian regime. For all the accusations made against Russia, no American journalist or figure has died in Russian captivity, while an American citizen has now not only died in Ukrainian captivity, but under various forms of torture, at that. He described some of that #torture in his final video, including things like his eyeballs being scraped by sharp objects and other ghoulishly medieval techniques. But of course, no one in the Nazi-complicit US regime cares; another in a long line of gross hypocrisies from the people that brought you the farcical “Rule of Law” and “Rules Based Order”.

The message was given in June 2022.

Where is #GonzaloLira?
Kim Iversen interviews #Gonzalo Lira Sr., the #father of the journalist, who details the negligence and out right hypocrisy of the Biden Administraion. The U.S. embassy should be able to let us know the whereabouts of Gonzalo, and should visit him, and allow his lawyer to visit them. They should be protecting his first amendment rights but are absolutely not doing that.
A popular #American cliche is that our military, and war operations (including proxy wars) happen to "protect our freedoms." While that is a lie, Lira, Sr. shows us that no one is more of a hypocrite than Joe Biden on this matter.

Detaining #Gonzalo #Lira: Another blow to the #freedom of #press in #Ukraine

While it is true that Lira has criticised the Zelensky regime and the eight-year-long shelling of Donbas residents by Kyiv, he has not participated in any activities other than exercising his right to free speech as a citizen and respected journalist. Whether or not we agree with Lira's opinions, freedom of speech must not be restricted, especially during times of conflict. These are the values we claim to be defending.
Ukraine’s recent implementation of laws criminalising dissent, banning opposition political parties, nationalising the media, and even persecuting the Ukrainian Orthodox Church for maintaining canonical communion with Moscow has raised concerns among free speech advocates. These actions have been criticised for undermining democratic values and creating a chilling effect on freedom of expression.
The detainment of Gonzalo Lira serves as a stark reminder of the delicate balance between national security and individual liberties, especially during times of conflict. It also raises questions about the Zelensky administration's dedication to democratic principles and the obligation of its Western supporters to address these concerns. As the situation in Ukraine continues to unfold, it is crucial for the international community to remain vigilant in advocating for the protection of freedom of speech and other fundamental rights, while holding governments accountable for their actions.
