GL was arrested on May 1 but released on July 6 on $13K bail.
He had a court date tomorrow where he was convinced he would be sentenced to ten years in a labor camp. Since he has a heart condition, GL, 55, a father of two, doesn’t expect to survive. When authorities returned his passport, he assumed they were prompting him to leave Ukraine. He traveled 1400 km by motorcycle to the Hungarian border and tweeted out his story last night. “If you don’t hear from me, it means I did not make it. Please cause a ruckus! Don’t be indifferent to my fate.”
His only crime was calling for a peaceful settlement and exposing Zelensky’s corruption.
“Zelensky’s Ukraine is no democracy–it is a thieving, corrupt, murderous gangster regime PRETENDING to be a polite “Western” democracy.”

RT Report–US-Chilean journalist describes torture in a Ukrainian prison
Gonzalo Lira has reappeared three months after his arrest by the SBUChilean-American blogger Gonzalo Lira, arrested by Ukrainian intelligence in May on charges of pro-Russian sympathies, reappeared online on Monday and told a sordid tale of beatings and extortion while awaiting a show trial.
“I was tortured in two of the four cells I was in–by the other prisoners,” Lira posted in a 25-tweet thread on Monday evening, noting that all the torture in the pre-trial detention center (SIZO) was outsourced to the inmates.
I got a cracked rib in my first cell, but it wasn’t too bad. The worst stretch was in my fourth cell. From 1pm on June 21 until 7pm the next day–30 hours” two inmates tortured him and at one point “used a toothpick to scratch the whites of my left eye, while asking me if I could still read if I had just one,” Lira wrote.
One of the torturers was allegedly reprimanded for bruising the 55-year-old blogger’s chest, because the instructions were to leave no marks.
According to Lira, he was beaten and tortured because the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) figured it could extort him for all his savings – amounting to some $100,000 when factoring in the confiscated computers and phones.
So once they had me imprisoned for my videos, the SBU took the opportunity to extort money from me–using the guards as accomplices, who in turn used the prisoners as the muscle.
All told, they extorted USD$70,000 out of me and split it among themselves. They also took another $9k when they arrested me (my emergency cash). And another 11 grand, which was the bail money.
With the computers, iPhone, etc., I’m out an even 100k on this adventure.”

Lira is a CIAda shill. Anyone with half a functioning brain would’ve left UKraine after his first detention and release, & even now, why is he still alive?
The Nazis have stolen his money, but left him to be a chatterbox.
This makes no sense. Don’t leave any marks? Most marks will heal, so it’s just his word. I bet GL doesn’t even know the, real names of his cell ‘mates’!
This would’ve been soooo much easier if they’d killed him, but he’s alive. Maybe the CIA want him alive, maybe there’s going to be a movie, and a book, and tour?
This:..
” two inmates tortured him and at one point “used a toothpick to scratch the whites of my left eye, while asking me if I could still read if I had just one,” Lira wrote…
Dear dear… how awful..scratching his eyeball with a toothpick..it sounds just like that movie ‘clockwork orange’…
and talking of hollyweird movies just like Hiltz in the ‘Great Escape’.. Gonzo free from the cooler..rides a motorbike to the border. (no doubt a Triumph Trophy TR6..Gonzo dressed in leather jacket and chinos furtively checking his six)…
but unlike Hiltz.. has the good sense to give the ‘Nazi’s’ a heads up on unsocial media…
Stay Tuned for the next thrilling installment!….
NB: Note.. like all ‘jewes’ Gonzo can’t resist the urge to whine about money..
To Wit..” jeez Maury…l’m down to the toon of a hunered big wonz.. holy schmoses..!”
No doubt we can expect a very large crowdfunding operation sometime very soon.. to get Gonzo back on his pins…
so please give generously for that eyeball transplant… (plenty of ‘available’ organs in the Ukraine)…
Pretty sure he will turn up again after ” escaping ” and proceed to ask for money. Never trusted this guy, I do not know what he is really up to ( probably just grifting ? ) and I could not care less. As said on here by someone, who the f–k announces to the world they are about to flee a country before they have made their escape, a country he claims will kill him, utter nonsense. Anyone who believes this fool is legit is beyond help.
A Yid scam to get the white morons to send it money??
The question is: why is TTS promoting this Yid huckster?
did zelensky bugger him in the clink
