Secession movements have a big chance of killing a ton of people and violating the civil rights of many more, so a 15 year sentence is very plausibly appropriate, in comparison to armed robbery.

This was the the peaceful independence movement. They have not killed anyone and have no declared intention to.

That would be a great argument if it meant there was no chance of future violence. But it doesn't, so it's not.

So basically you're saying that somebody should be jailed for N years because maybe, in the future, someone else related with the same movement might use some level of violence to achieve... something we still don't know, in circumstances we still don't know? Wow.

You were the one talking about "future". Can you explain better what did you mean?
