...It’s episode six, “Gganbu,” that hits the hardest. That’s the one where the story puts its characters through their most savage tests yet, pitting friends and allies against each other.
When the players are asked to choose partners, their first instinct is to choose their favorite person. They don’t know they will come to regret it later. When the game’s rules are announced, the players learn the harsh truth: The two partners are competing against each other, and whoever loses the game will be “eliminated.”
Inside Syria’s infamous Sednaya prison, I lived through the real-life version of this episode. The guards came to the cells and asked my friend Jihan to name his closest friend among the inmates. I was surprised he didn’t give them my name. After all, I had been his friend there longer than anyone else.
Instead Jihan named another friend of ours. Then the guard handed him a screwdriver and told him in a calm voice, “Use this to kill your friend or he will have to kill you. You’ve got ten minutes.”
The guard locked the cell and walked away. The friend immediately began pleading with Jihan: “If you kill me, my kid is going to be an orphan.”
But Jihan didn’t see any way out...As the final seconds ticked away, he made the decision to kill his friend and carry the guilt that would live with him forever...
Later in episode six, the plot twist involving the two young female characters...took me back to another moment I experienced. In the episode, Ji-yeong decides to sacrifice her life by letting Sae-byeok win. She believes that Sae-byeok has a better future and a better life waiting for her after the game, so she allows her to win.
Watching Ji-yeong reminded me powerfully of my cousin Bashir...

Could it be similar to why American Authorities put David Gilbert and Kathy Boudin in prison?
Participation in anti-government protests. He was arrested seven times, then they took him and threw him in a detention center run by military intelligence. Doubt we’ll ever know what he was really “detained” for, all things considered.
Here is a video of Omar:

Kinda like Bill Ayres and Bernardine Dohrn.
Unfortunately, the FBI made a slight error in obtaining a search warrant, so they let 'em go.
It was nothing like the deliberate perjury the FBI committed to obtain a FISA warrant to spy on Trump.
It sure is nice to own the police and JustUs system.
Apparently, Alshogre and the Washington Post doesn't own the Syrian system, they just think they should.
