Given at the huge Computer Congress in Hamburg in December 2014. It presents present day developments, past issues and of course recites the horror of facing a 35 year prison sentence without getting medical treatment for a condition that was diagnosed years before the arrest and also the denial to even just present in a way that fits ones gender in any way.
I find it cruel that the USA has such a barbaric military law which seems to violate all rules of human rights :'(

I've got to agree, anjaq. I'm really angry at the man in the White House, whom I voted for, and who has the power to order her to get the treatment she needs, but for reasons I don't understand, chooses not to.
The government is essentially withholding treatment for a medical condition (gender dysphoria) in order to torture her for embarrassing the U.S. government (and other governments) by revealing their disgraceful conduct in world affairs.
Yes. And in the presentation there is some more stuff that is unbelievable - stuff that did not even have to do with her condition - I did not know that the USA is that far off from human and civil rights when it comes to members of the military and people accused under certain laws.
If she were diabetic, would they deny her treatment for that as well? Seems like an apt analogy.
