Imagine the irate press when word of her torture got out. Angry because good people like her shouldn't be tortured.
OTOH, some lib would spring her in real life, and she would go on to interviews and write articles about how 'nicely' they treat their 'guests' (read: prisoners) and how the stories of torture are unfounded. Etc, etc, etc... And 10 other innocents would take her place because of how close they came to being exposed. Remember during the X42 era when the Balkans were overrun with jihadi intent on converting, torturing or just eliminating the locals? Reports came of mass graves and tortures but most reporters ignored the story. The Brits finally broke the big story and wondered why we ignored it and American press was forced to pay attention. The Serbs (and Milosevic was not a nice guy) took the heat and they were not blameless, but the jihadi atrocities were roundly ignored. The Balkans are still a troubled area and guess who is stirring up the trouble? Oh, yes, those jihadi, often from other countries, who were branded as 'poor victims' a decade ago. Sigh.
