While former convicted felon Hunter Biden enjoys a luxurious vacation in South Africa, with round-the-clock Secret Service protection paid for by the taxpayer, the first whistleblower to report Biden corruption is being brutalized in a Cyprus jail cell.
Gal Luft, the Israeli-American professor who told the FBI in 2019 that Hunter and his uncle Jim Biden were paid millions by a Chinese company while Joe Biden was VP, has been in a bleak Cypriot jail for six months awaiting extradition over what he says are politically motivated charges carried over from the Biden Department of Justice.
Luft was set to be a witness in the House Oversight Committee’s Biden corruption investigation but was arrested in Cyprus in February 2023, three weeks after Republicans took control. He had been secretly indicted on arms dealing and foreign agent violations three months earlier, exactly one week before the midterm elections.
He skipped bail and went on the run for 18 months before being re-arrested last September.
Luft currently is in the sixth day of a jail lockdown and has been assaulted and urinated on by Muslim inmates who told him, “Israelis kill Gazans, so we will kill you,” according to a friend.
About twice a month, when he goes to court for an extradition hearing, “the Cypriot judge and his team are waiting for news from the US and keep postponing it to a later date each time.”
Why is the Trump administration allowing such cruel punishment for a man who tried to warn the American people of the true nature of the Bidens before Joe ran for president?
Luft should receive a pardon and a medal, not a potential death sentence in a third-world hell hole.
