One of the few journalists to report what is actually happening on the ground in Ukraine, he was arrested in May and imprisoned since July allegedly for his criticism of the regime of Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky.
Gonzalo Lira's case has been ignored by the legacy media, but independent journalist Tucker Carlson and X owner Elon Musk are calling on Zelensky to explain why the American citizen is locked up in a Ukrainian prison.
In his December 9 episode of X, Carlson noted that Lira “has been tortured in a Ukrainian prison since July, for the crime of criticizing Zelensky. Biden officials approve because they would like to apply the same standard here. The media agrees.”
In May, the Ukrainian government charged Lira with violating Articles 2 and 3 of Article 436-2 of Ukraine's criminal code, which prohibits describing the military conflict in Ukraine as an “internal civil conflict,” according to the press If convicted, Lira faces up to 13 years in prison.
