Is that all?[edit]

No political prisoners in the US or on behalf of the US in 2023? What about Julian Assange? What about Guantanamo?

What about Abou Graif & other "foreign based" US prisons? What about McCarthyism? What about the internment of thousands of US citizens of Japanese descent during WW2? What about Native "prisoners of war" like Geronimo who died in 1909 at Fort Sill. The US has practiced massive arbitrary political imprisonment and displacement for centuries and continues to do so. More people have died in its "gulag" than in the USSR. Doing it mainly abroad today is just a masquerade and a step further in the ignominy.

This arcticle is a good beginning & thank you for this. But it still needs a lot of development to make sense. Assange has more legitimity in it than the Angola three who became politically engaged while already in jail.

Thank you again for this work though. It's nice. Tireatute (talk) 12:21, 3 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
