“For requiring their blood [God] hath remembered them: he hath not forgotten the cry of the poor.” —Psalm 9:13 Prisoners who have not been convicted or even, in some cases, tried in court are beaten, abused, denied basic medical care and food, forced to live in filthy, squalid conditions, and prevented from speaking with attorneys. These people are political prisoners, and the country’s government is hurling extreme accusations and smears at them, calling them “terrorists,” making them the national scapegoats. No, I’m not talking about Nazi Germany or Soviet Russia or Communist China. I’m talking about the United States, and these prisoners are the Jan. 6 political prisoners currently suffering grievous abuses of their rights and dignity as humans.
