| > being put on trial is a violation of your human rights? Oh, certainly not. A fair trial, however, is probably impossible. However, what I usually comment on is that there is a large enough corpus of evidence to indicate that he's being tortured. Regardless of everything else I believe about the case: his human rights are certainly being suspended for now; if I ever talk about that then people are quick to point out that he assisted in the rise to power of Trump; as if that invalidates his human rights. Regardless of what you believe (IE: I'm not happy about Trump either) you shouldn't be so quick to repeal peoples rights, and that's what people are doing, and that's what I'm commenting on. https://www.scmp.com/comment/opinion/article/3160861/torturi... I could go on-and-on about how he was hounded and character assassinated, but you wouldn't believe me because thats the very nature of character assassination. I would like him to stand trial, but I suspect it cannot be a fair trial. Sham trials are very common, I wouldn't consider them to be an indicator that your human rights are not being eroded.
