Yeah but Pussy Riot got arrested.
and then released... where have you been ? lol
I'm making the point they even got arrested in the first place.
And they only got released because it became a worldwide famous case. Imagine all the nobodys who are wrongfully arrested with never again a second thought.
Of course that happens in the USA a lot too. It's just a matter of degree compared to China, Russia, etc, the USA is much better with allowing protests etc.
