To sum up, a US citizen was arrested for exercising his free speech, then thrown into prison where he was tortured and denied medical care, dying as a result. If that happened in Russia you'd be screeching about fascism right now, but since it happened to somebody you dislike, and was done by the fascists you support, you see no problem.
If it happened in Russia I would agree if he broke Russian laws while in Russia, he should face Russian consequences. It all seems really simple to me. If you commit a crime in a foreign country you are typically subject to their laws.
The discussion here is regrading the behavior of the US government when a US citizen was detained by the client regime of the US. These are the services that US would normally offer that were denied in this case https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/international-travel/emergencies/arrest-detention.html
