The last letter of American blogger and journalist Gonzalo Lira, who is being held in Kharkov prison on charges of supporting a special operation in Ukraine, has been published – Lira himself said that he was imprisoned for criticizing Kiev. The Izvestia newspaper quotes this with reference to journalist Alexander Rubinstein.
“Tell my sister. I have double pneumonia (both lungs affected), as well as pneumothorax and a very bad case of full-body edema. This all started in mid-October but was ignored by the prison administration. At the hearing on December 22, they only admitted that I had pneumonia .I am undergoing a procedure to reduce pulmonary edema, which causes me to experience severe shortness of breath and faint after a simple two-minute conversation,” Lyra writes.
Formerly TV host Tucker Carlson reported It was stated that American journalist Gonzalo Lira, who criticized the Ukrainian and US governments, died in a Ukrainian prison.
The TV presenter reminded that Lira is a US citizen and claimed that “the Biden administration supports his imprisonment and torture.” According to Carlson, the journalist’s father “predicted that his son would be killed.”
Previously Elon Musk requested Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky’s statement about the detention and arrest of US citizen Gonzalo Lira.
