I posted this elsewhere but you are just incorrect.

Yeah because those countries often allow someone to be turn themselves in and then offer the accused freedom of movement for 250 dollars (10% bail).

Oh wait they just poison (Russia), disappear (China) or hang (Iran).

Are there problems in the US? Oh certainly. But don't belittle the activists in authoritarian countries by saying someone who was arrested for downloading PII is somehow equivalent to poisoning members of an opposition party.

Aren't some death penalties in the US performed by injection of a lethal dose of ... poison ?

Except Li Wenliang in China was never jailed and completely exonerated by the state and never lost his job.
