I think we should treat the question of how political prisoners are treated, and whether they’re killed in prison, independently of whether we approve of their politics.

I don't recall doing anything otherwise. I made a joke about the fact that Putin probably killed him due to it being election time. I'm not dismissing his death. I explicitly said that I have no personal love lost and that I'm not glad he's dead.

I didn't mean to be too critical. It was really the "I certainly don't care" part that struck me. Even if we don't care about him personally, or care for his politics, there's plenty to care about in how he was treated.

I was referring to the fact that he was dead which I thought was pretty clear from the context. Just because I don't care about the fact that he is no longer living doesn't mean that I am dismissive of the care that he was given to the point of his death.

You've been doing a lot of assuming so far without just simply asking what I actually meant.
