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 on authoritarian countries by saying someone who was arrested for downloading PII is somehow equivalent to poisoning members of an opposition party.
