      It’s news

      It happened in a part of the world

      How’s it not?

      It’s news because of how extreme it is. 4 months in prison for having a novelty toy letter opener? Seems absolutely absurd.

        You can make stupid outrage news anywhere, out of any number of issues. It does not escalate to world news.

          I disagree. When any government gets too heavy handed we should all pay attention and put them back in their place as public servants.

        So says you. Violent crime is much lower in some countries because of heavy handed punishments on weapons.
