The world union didn't openly threaten Ainsley by attacking Axelle, but it was easy for them to inflict wounds or other injuries to this elf without anyone knowing.
Even the live cameras could be adjusted so that whenever something happened to Axelle, the camera would not capture it.
The people at the scene might be able to see those tricks, but most of the people here, including the forces who once wanted to oppose the world union, had already sided with the world union to eradicate the alien, a.k.a; Ainsley herself.
This situation was not favourable to Ainsley, and even now, the world union has started to use various tricks to torture Axelle.
The wounds they gave to this elf were all hidden underneath the clothes, and so, from outside, Axelle only looked haggard, but no one knew that he was silently enduring the torture.
