Gonzalo Lira didn't live long enough to give us a second interview. Earlier this year, he died in a Ukrainian prison at the age of 55. Days before he died, Gonzalo smuggled the following note out from the hospital: "Tell my sister I have double pneumonia, both lungs as well as pneumothorax, and a very severe case of edema, swelling of the body. All of this started in mid-October, but was ignored by the prison. They only admitted I had pneumonia at a December 22 hearing."
