Interesting, but let's say some American goes over to China and starts
protesting on the anniversary of Tianenman Square.  Guarantee you he'll
be rounded up and abused by the authorities.  Now take that same
American, send him over to Russia and have him protest the war in
Ukraine.  See how it goes for him.

Laws or whatever, but from a certain point of view, what's happening
isn't unreasonable, it's just a surprise because it hasn't happened
recently.
