I have had double pneumonia (both lungs) as well as pneumothorax and a very severe case of edema (swelling of body). All this started in mid-October, but was ignored by the prison. They only admitted I had pneumonia at a Dec. 22 hearing. I am about to have a procedure to reduce the edema pressure in my lungs, which is causing me extreme shortness of breath, to the point of passing out after minimal activity, or even just talking for 2 minutes - Lira in handwritten note on right.

I cannot accept the way my son has died. He was tortured, extorted, incommunicado for 8 months and 11 days and the U.S. Embassy did nothing to help my son. The responsibility of this tragedy is the dictator Zelensky with the concurrence of a senile American President, Joe Biden - Lira's father.

My name is Joe Biden, I work in the Senate - the US President tries to impress visitors in a Pennsylvania coffee shop (top vid.)

Of course, there is a feeling of bitterness... 57 years & 13 family members remain in Latvia - Katkov says.
