Not sure I’ve seen many reports of the USA jailing or disappearing its own citizens when they dare speak up about said atrocities.

Yeah, like Julian Assange? Who’s that guy? No idea. Oh, maybe you meant Chelsea Manning, ah, no, also don’t know who’s that one.

So clearly- if I go to Washington DC and start protesting in the street on behalf of these people (who I’d agree are being persecuted unjustly, despite one of them being Australian), I’ll be taken away and jailed within minutes, right?

To be fair, Julian is not USA’s “own citizen”.
