BLP: Journalist Gonzalo Lira is pleading with Hungary for asylum after enduring a long and cruel jail sentence in the nation of Ukraine after exposing information that exposed the corruption of the war effort.
“Right now, I’m about to try to get out of Ukraine, and seek political asylum in Hungary,” Lira wrote in a tweet. “Either I’ll cross the border and make it to safety, or I’ll be disappeared by the Kiev regime.”
Lira noted that he was arrested for posting YouTube videos on May 1 for “making videos critical of the West and their proxy regime in Kiev” and exposing “how they are destroying Ukraine.”
“My indictment explicitly states that all I did was discuss publicly known facts about the war—the epitome of free speech in a democracy,” he added. “But Zelensky’s Ukraine is no democracy—it is a thieving, corrupt, murderous gangster regime PRETENDING to be a polite “western” democracy.”
“Once inside Sizo Prison, I was tortured in two of the four cells I was in—by the other prisoners. Guards NEVER beat prisoners—they outsource torture to the other prisoners,” Lira stated.
He was released and plans to stand trial on Aug. 2. Lira says that the Ukrainian government did not give him the ankle bracelet they claimed he would receive so he is making a run for it to Hungary. more

I’m going to miss his reports. I use to think this sort of thing could never happen here in the U.S. Obviously I was wrong. Same corrupt people.
Notice no one believes he would get asylum in the U.S.
I hate being The Bad Guys.
SNS, It’s the very same regime. He’d be just as dead here.

“SNS, It’s the very same regime. He’d be just as dead here.”
That’s what I mean.
WE’RE The Bad Guys.
And everyone in the world, including him, knows it.
Which is probably why he didn’t even try.
All in the name of Democracy you understand.
A Russian/Putin sympathizer, who was given a boot out the Ukraine door. Go to Putin’s Motherland ahole. F off
I s’pose the anonymouses think Col. Douglas Macgregor is another Putin apologist. You guys don’t seem to recognize reality when it’s directly in front of you.

They let him live. He is now free to spew his garbage somewhere else. Putin is hiring old folks to fight & support the your Motherland, by all means step up to the plate, comrade. Reality? What that you LOVE Vlad.
