- tweetle_beetle 2y agoAccording to Wikipedia: his first noteworthy anti-corruption publication was in 2010, he was charged with corruption in 2012 with a 5 year suspended sentence, in 2014 he was placed under house arrest without due process or any access to family or lawyers, in 2016 he paid a large fine to avoid negative consequences for his brother who had been wrongly implicated alongside him, in 2019 he was charged with a contractual breach and in 2020 he was poisoned which ultimately led to his death via some more wrongful imprisonment and lack of access medical care. Looks like less than one decade of public anti-corruption work was enough for the state to attempt to murder one of the most famous politicians in the country with the rest of the world looking on. Not exactly sure how this can be seen as a regime with a notably high tolerance for dissenters.
