    Tragic Fate Unfolds: Controversy Surrounding American Journalist Gonzalo Lira’s Detention and Death in Ukrainian Custody

    JimBy Updated: Whatfinger News 8 Mins Read

    The Ukrainian Dictatorship that we have given 150 billion of our tax dollars or more to, killed the man.

    ‘Gonzalo Lira’s last public statement is chilling. He knew that if arrested, he would die in a Ukrainian prison. He pleaded for public outcry to put pressure on the U.S. State Department to do what it ordinarily does for American citizens trapped in these circumstances. But the outcry never came. The mainstream media ignored his story. So State Department officials were free to ignore the plight of a journalist who had criticized them. Gonzalo was abandoned. And so the Ukrainian government could treat him as they wished, as they treat other dissenters and critics — with imprisonment, brutality and murder.’ Said David Sacks

    DC Draino: ‘GOP warmongers didn’t listen when we called out Zelensky for arresting an American journalist And now he’s dead Murdered by the Zelensky regime Gonzalo Lira Say his name you NeoCon cowards’. In a somber turn of events, the father of American journalist Gonzalo Lira has announced the untimely death of his son, aged 55, while in Ukrainian custody. Lira, who was detained for criticizing the governments of Zelensky and Biden, had become a contentious figure in the eyes of the Biden administration. The circumstances surrounding his imprisonment and subsequent demise have raised concerns about the treatment of prisoners and the role of the U.S. government in such cases.

    Tucker Carlson said ‘Gonzalo Lira, Sr. says his son has died at 55 in a Ukrainian prison, where he was being held for the crime of criticizing the Zelensky and Biden governments. Gonzalo Lira was an American citizen, but the Biden administration clearly supported his imprisonment and torture. Several weeks ago we spoke to his father, who predicted his son would be killed.’  see the clip below

    Lira’s arrest took place in May by Ukrainian authorities, who cited his public justification of the Russian invasion as the primary reason. The Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) released a statement outlining the charges against him. Notably, the statement identified Lira as a citizen of a Latin American country, omitting his California-born U.S. citizenship

    Neither Biden nor his top officials ever once uttered a word about Gonzalo Lira, despite his being an American imprisoned by Ukraine for speaking out, and despite the most unhinged Ukrainians threatening Lira’s life. That signaled to Ukraine that they could do anything to him – Glenn Greenwald

    Following his release, Lira disclosed disturbing details of alleged torture during his time in a Ukrainian prison. He recounted a harrowing experience where two individuals held his head while using a toothpick to scratch the whites of his left eye. The motive behind this cruel act was to question his ability to read with just one eye. Lira further revealed that he decided to make a desperate escape towards the Hungarian border on a motorcycle.

    Journalist Alex Rubernstein shared Lira’s account of suffering from double pneumonia in both lungs, a condition reportedly ignored by the Ukrainian prison authorities. In a letter, Lira described the severity of his health issues, including pneumothorax and extreme edema. The prison acknowledged his pneumonia only during a hearing on December 22, leaving Lira in a critical state. Desperate for relief, he mentioned undergoing a procedure to alleviate the pressure caused by edema in his lungs, which led to extreme shortness of breath.

    In response to the reported death of his son, Lira’s father expressed profound grief and anger. He vehemently criticized the circumstances surrounding his son’s demise, stating, “I cannot accept the way my son has died. He was tortured, extorted, incommunicado for 8 months and 11 days, and the US Embassy did nothing to help my son.” Blaming Ukrainian President Zelensky and accusing U.S. President Joe Biden of negligence, he declared them jointly responsible for the tragedy.

    The news of Lira’s death has sparked controversy and raised questions about the role of governments in safeguarding the rights and well-being of their citizens abroad. Concerns have been expressed regarding the lack of intervention by the U.S. Embassy during Lira’s prolonged ordeal. Critics argue that this incident underscores the need for a more proactive approach by diplomatic missions to protect the rights of citizens facing adversity in foreign jurisdictions.

    As investigations unfold, the circumstances surrounding Gonzalo Lira’s imprisonment, alleged torture, and subsequent death continue to draw attention. The incident serves as a tragic reminder of the complex dynamics involving the intersection of journalism, geopolitics, and individual rights on the global stage.
