How is she being cynically abused by the people calling for her freedom? You think that in itself is western propaganda?

Also, it's absurd to equate what she's done to any form of violent extremism or the Jan 6 rioters -- that's an apples and hand grenades comparison.

And of course she deserves to be safe and healthy -- I say release her now (hell, my vote would be never imprison her in the first place, but I'm incapable of rewinding time). I just don't think it was "needless to say" coming from you given the rest of what you've written here, elsewhere on this thread, and elsewhere on this website.

Just because the ideology in question is your particular ideology, does not make manipulative radicalization defensible.

I'd wager that most people imprisoned for getting radicalized do so before committing any violent acts.

Especially when we're taking about East Asian nations, where social harmony tends to be valued over personal freedom, relative to the West.
