This seems like, to be very very VERY generous as per the guidelines, a case of limited superficial similarities being blown out of proportion.

Assuming the best of intentions.

Wikipedia's description of RSDL does not go into gory details. They are not hard to look up though. See e.g.

Do you really believe that "activists" and suspected criminals are given the same treatment as some entrepreneurs who just lost their shirts? This feels like an excuse to bring up something that's fundamentally unrelated to the subject at hand, because there are a dozen closer and more useful comparisons to make than Gitmo.

For example how Japan can hold and question people without access to a lawyer, outside of police stations.
