Accused 'Russian agent' Butina moved to another jail, now in 'borderline torture' conditions.
Maria Butina, the Russian gun activists jailed in the US on charges of being an unregistered "foreign agent," has been moved to a different prison without warning. The Russian embassy says her new conditions border on torture. The Russian embassy in the US, which has been closely following Butina's case, says she was transferred from her Washington jail handcuffed, without warning or explanation for the move. Before the move, Butina was subjected to a "degrading full strip search," and all her things were taken away, including books, shoes, towels and other hygiene items.
Butina was moved to a prison in Alexandria, Virginia, and spent the next 12 hours in a quarantine cell with the no food and all the lights on, unable to sleep. She will now be kept in "administrative segregation," which means locked up in solitary confinement – conditions bordering on torture, the embassy says.
Embassy staff paid an emergency visit to Butina in her new place of detention. They also intend to send another note of official protest to the US Department of State, in addition to the one recently filed over the inhumane treatment of the Russian citizen.
"We have more and more questions to the U.S. justice system," the embassy says in a Facebook post. " Should allegations pressed against Maria before the actual trial condemn her to practices that are slightly below torture? It seems that the reason behind the US decision to withdraw from the UN Human Rights Council was to give the US authorities green light for such provocations."
she's innocent theyve just programmed the zombies violently hate russians so no one is looking at the facts. If I was russian I would not go to san francisco or portland they'd likely lynch you for beng a spy
>potentially innocent Russian activist is arrested to sustain the charade of Russian interference into the 2016 election >it's Trump's fault Why would he torture a Russian if he is a puppet to them? I swear you fags are getting so lazy with this shit.
Butina, a Russian national lobbying for looser gun controls in Russia, has been living and studying in the US. She was arrested in mid-July and charged with acting as a Russian agent without notifying the US attorney general. While she has been fully cooperating with the investigation, reports swirling around her insinuate she was getting cosy with Republican officials, including through the use of sex as incentive. The Russian embassy has been fighting for her release, and has previously complained that she is being subjected to unwarranted strip searches and denied proper medical care, all in an attempt to "break her will."
Butina's lawyer has also confirmed to RT that prison conditions have worsened her health. A fundraiser has been launched to help her.

I know that not all Americans are dumb. And I have respect for those who are using their brains to see the evil that is encapsulating their country. Times of harsh realities are being spread all over the World. This gives me hope and feel good feeling. pic related/
Last Friday "Pastor" Brunson asked for a dentist, and the Turkish court sent one all the way to his home, where he is under house arrest. The guy has even full dental coverage, much better than the situation in US.

>...comment from readers of this article: >rt.com/usa/436301-butina-moved-torture-prison/ There is something deeply wrong with the United States Of America !!! To be such an ENEMY to all around the world , only generates more enemies that will put Americans at risk . This young woman has been very foolish as a Russian citizen in the US ; joining the gun lobby and giving herself too high a profile . Butina has been naive and mistaken to think ALL AMERICANS are nice people whom you can trust to be open with , clearly that is not the case .

You know Trump doesn't control everything related to government right?
In our system where there is separation of power she is under the purview of the judicial system. Trump couldn't even pardon her because she hasn't been convicted of a crime yet.
Like the other user said some of you fags are just fucking lazy and would rather invent a new conspiracy theory that conforms to your preconceptions than think about how the world actually works for two seconds.
