Gonzalo Lira Dead
Lionel Nation reports that Chilean-American blogger Gonzalo Lira, known as Coach Red Pill, has reportedly died in a Ukrainian prison, as announced by his family on Friday.
Lira, 55, resided in Kharkov and transitioned from blogging to YouTube commentary following the escalation of the conflict with Russia in February 2022. He was detained by the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) in May on charges of “discrediting” the Ukrainian leadership and military. More with Lionel.
Did Lira fall victim to double pneumonia, as well as a severe case of pneumothorax, as he described to his sister in a letter, or did he suffer a more sinister death at the hands of Ukrainian authorities?
In an earlier interview with The Duran’s Alexander Mercouris and Alex Christoforou, Gonzalo Lira Sr. gives a heartfelt timeline of his son’s final journey, from his arrest only five miles from freedom at the Hungarian border to his treatment in the barbaric Ukrainian prison.
Lira Sr., who confirmed his son’s death on X Friday, said he was being held in the Ukrainian prison for criticizing the governments of Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zelensky and President Joe Biden.
