I’ll buy the poor conditions in a cell but dragging her by the hair and forcing her to kiss a flag just sets off my bullshit detector.

She’s got a very high profile and as insane as it might sound considering there’s an open genocide going on, I think it would be considered a bad PR move to abuse her like that.

Of course, it’s not out of the realm of possibility with their track record of human abuses but it seems very unlikely to me that they’d do that to her.

I’m sure we’ll hear what she has to say once she’s released.
