So basically, they let him out to get medical treatment that he can no longer afford because of his bail.Nice. Russia appears to be governed by sadists.
I have a bad memory; was it Vasily Alexanyan or Svetlana Bakhmina that LaR didn’t want released because it would send a wrong signal that Russia’s good?(to which James said something like, “I think you’re the only person that doesn’t want him/her released !”(I believe she cited an MLK letter that said that moderates are more troublesome than radicals)
