New Era of western political prisoners!

ARE POLITICAL TARGETS BEING MISTREATED 

DANGEROUS PRECEDENTS ARE BEING SET

There are lots of protests in London over treatment of Julian Assange the head of Wikileaks. It is reported that he has been held in solitary confinement, regularly strip searched and denied contact with friends and others. He is allowed out 1 hour a day. Large groups of doctors signed petitions that his health is deteriorating. He is currently being held for skipping bail 7 years ago when he sought to avoid extradition on questionable charges of sexual assault in Sweden. The claims were that Assange engaged in consensual sex, but unprotected without consent.

He is now being considered for extradition to the United States where many fear he may be similarly treated. He is charged in the U.S. for printing classified information, much like the activities engaged in by the New York Times and The Washington Post.

We also saw the treatment of Paul Manafort who was denied bail and held in solitary confinement for 9 months even before his trial. Much of this was to pressure him to conform to the narrative demanded by investigators. Manafort also suffered physical deterioration from his unprecedented treatment.

It seems the goal is to hope that they die while in confinement to send a message to any who might consider opposing the ruling elite. 

We also saw the middle of the night raid, documented by CNN, by dozens of swat team members on the home of Roger Stone. It is likely his case was prejudiced by the coordinated effort to declare him guilty of serious crimes. He was never charged with any crimes concerning his connects to the Trump campaign but was non the less charged with several process crimes and convicted.

Never a word from the American Civil Liberties Union, or any other civil rights groups. the same groups that will rush to the defense of murders, rapists and proven terrorists.

It is a fact that political prisoners are now singled out for special treatment by the courts and authorities in the United States, the UK, and possibly other western countries. Of course that only applies to political prisoners of the wrong ideology.
