Journalist Gonzalo Lira goes missing
Chilean journalist Gonzalo Lira disappeared five days ago in Ukraine. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs said they were contacting Ukrainian authorities to determine the whereabouts of the novelist and director Miliri, who will be arrested by the security forces. Relatives and friends of journalist Gonzalo Lira, who is facing war with Russia, condemned his disappearance after speaking out against the administration of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
The author has not been contacted since April 15th.
Lira is known on Twitter under the pseudonym Coach Red Pill, and this social network is where he last posted that day. According to one politician, on the 17th of the same month, Lira arranged an interview with former British Undersecretary George Galloway through Most TV, but the promise was not confirmed. Chile’s foreign ministry said it had contacted European authorities to locate the director.
The director of the Chilean film “Abduction” used his YouTube channel to talk about what happened in the war between Russia and Ukraine from the very beginning of the Russian invasion. He accused the Ukrainian government of kidnapping Nazily-minded enemies and their soldiers and questioned Western media reports of the conflict.
On March 26, a few days before his disappearance, he tweeted: “Do you want to know the truth about the Zelensky regime? Google searches for the names Vladimir Struk, Denis Kirev, Mikhail and Aleksander Kononovich, Nestor Shufrych, Yan Taksyur, Dmitri Djangiro, and Elena Berezhnaya. If you haven’t heard from me for more than 12 hours, please add my name to this list.”
Tweets regarding the disappearance of Gonzalo Lira
Dan Cohen tweets, “Extremely troubling that
@realGonzaloLira
, a US citizen in Ukraine, has disappeared from social media. He was scheduled to interview me last Friday about Zelensky’s SBU kidnapping and assassinating dissidents, and now I fear he has become its latest victim.”
Laura tweets, “The US psychopath cheering about #GonzaloLira’s disappearance, calling for his murder, was previously known as Michael John Cirillo. Now the name and gender of this person have changed to Sarah Ashton Cirillo, s/he is embedded with Ukrainian forces in Kharkiv.”
