    Luckily he was able to escape Russia safely. If he stayed in the US he would’ve been tortured just like Chelsea Manning and Assange.

      Did Manning allege torture?

        From what I remember in her memoir, she said she pent about 2 months in what was essentially a holding cell in Kuait after she was arrested, with little to no stimulation, and limited human interaction.

          I’m sorry did she allege she was held in an empty area of the detainment center or that they kept her hooded, gagged, and under loud music? One is sensory deprivation torture and the other is normal military detainee transport.

        our re-definition of ‘torture’ excludes waterboarding, hog-tying, force-feeding, and sexual assault.

        According to the federal government even the people at Guantanamo weren’t tortured.

        We literally torture people who have never been seen by a judge. This country is fucking evil

          That’s not what I asked though.

      The US hasn’t had Assange to be able to torture him and I’m not aware of any allegations of Manning being tortured.
