Gonzalo Lira’s last tweet and public statement before untimely death in Ukrainian Guardroom

In his last tweets of Aug 2023, Gonzalo Lira wrote that he had been beaten in a pre-trial detention facility. “Guards NEVER beat prisoners – they outrsource torture to the other prisoners,” Gonzalo wrote. He describes in details how he was tortured in two of the four cells he was in. Gonzalo’s death must make people open their eyes and finally see the truth about the criminal Kiev regime which the West supports and calls ‘democratic.’

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.
