I mean, I hate the idea of throwing the book at and torturing anyone off of some ridiculous small drug crime. But there are tons and tons of political prisoners who are innocent and getting tortured far worse. And the only reason she took priority is because a vocal few tried desperately to unconvincingly persuade the public that she was a celebrity. I mean we have journalists like Evan gershkovich who is being detained for simply reporting a story and this is the trade we made? The fact that anyone is going to present this as some kind of sob story is tone dead. And in exchange for a dangerous political prisoner for what? A D list celebrity?
