Therefore President Obama should raise cases of imprisoned dissidents. A men was sentenced to prison for 11 years for recommending a peaceful transition to democracy. The men was convicted under the section 105 of the criminal code (incitement to subvert state power). The men wife was put under house arrest even though she didn't violated any law.
