This is exactly the same stuff going on in Thailand. Post something on Facebook the gov doesn't like and receive a 6 years[1] to 60 years[2] prison sentence. The new cybercrime billed was just announced with harsh penalties for posting anything that embarasses anybody or damages the image of the country. The junta doesn't give any cares at all anymore and just abducts people who say anything they don't like[3]. You would think that western governments would at least pretend to be strong against this kind of thing.
