    The fact that that made the news shows that

    it’s not commonly covered by the news

    it was the guy’s own government who snatched his phone,

    I don’t see what difference that makes

    People really should be cautious when travelling to countries with authoritarian governments… it’s the same caution that needs to be observed by anyone living in such a regime

    100% agreed, that article is focused on a particular place where people should exercise even more caution but people should be on guard the whole time they’re under an authoritarian 's jurisdiction

    People really should be cautious when travelling to countries with authoritarian governments but that’s not because they’re crossing a border

    No, borders are extra risky places where there is extra surveillance and more guards who could threaten you

    People really should be cautious when travelling to countries with authoritarian governments but that’s not because they’re… in a foreign country

    Totally agreed
