The Capitol protester whose feet were pictured on Nancy Pelosi’s desk is now claiming, through his lawyer, that he was subjected to inhumane treatment and torture while being imprisoned in a DC jail earlier this year.
Richard ‘Bigo’ Barnett, 61, claimed he was ‘tortured’ at the DC jail, citing episodes in which he was pushed head first into the concrete floor and held in solitary confinement for 23 hours a day.
In one incident, when he felt he was having a heart attack in jail, the Capitol rioter who put his feet up on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s desk said he was laughed at and denied medical attention.
The allegations were made in a ’emergency request’ by Barnett’s attorney Joseph D. McBride calling on Amnesty International and the American Civil Liberties Union to investigate the treatment and alleged ‘human rights violations’ of Capitol rioters at the jail.
According to the letter, he was exposed to “various psychological and emotional abuses,” such as being assaulted by staff, receiving threats against his wife, and being forced to live in “disgusting unsanitary conditions.”
He was also allegedly robbed of his stuff and subjected to sleep deprivation.

Most in Biden’s gulag under false accusations of ‘Insurrection’ were framed and are being detained for trial NEXT YEAR so they can’t tell people what they witnessed.
Every night at 9pm EST, the isolated political prisoner sing the Star Spangled Banner. Please pray for them, sing with them at 9pm. Please don’t let Biden throw them down the memory hole.
This is happening in the USA, a formerly great country.
We’re seeing the vengeful anger of nancy pelosi.
This is what the plan for ALL of us.
It’s just a dry run drill...................
Gee...where is the UN on this.
Those bastards are just itching to get their boots on the ground and start laying down the law here.
Absolute Lie!
Bkmk
That’s what communist do to their people. Cant believe it’s happening here.
And yet, those who supposedly represent us, do nothing to rescue these harmless people from this leftist affected torment. And violent BLM and Antifa filth walk free. We’re on our own.
We live in a USA that has taken and abused political prisoners.
no active media to call attention to abuses...
and the lawyer class has decided that most of them don't really care for justice...
and then we get to the scared little mice of the medical community....
we have no men.
Tyrants don’t seem to realize that when they do this to one person, they create 1000s of rebels.
Some more than willing to die for their principles.
When this guy gets out, what do they think he’s going to do?
He was put in prison for disturbing an elite. Plain and simple.
Unacceptable! I knew they were torturing them!
Not torture unless he was waterboarded! (/sarcasm )
We are such a weak country to have let this happen. Shame on all of us.
pending trial for his role in the January 6 Capitol riot, which left five people dead.
Huh?
Room 101 was not fiction.
A whole Lotta 60 year Olds is a very dangerous bunch. You pick a fight with old men and you better be ready for the nothing to lose punch back.
We’re all Randy Weaver to the Beltway bureaucracy.
Like imprisonment in the gulag under the Soviets.
