That's an entirely separate matter - and kind of off-topic, considering how this thread is about Internet censorship, not treatment of dissenters.

It's totally related. Protesting is speech that is censored when the government throws people in jail.

It has the same effect as internet censorship. People who speak up are prevented from communicating with the rest of society.
