The Guardian added a few more details on that conviction that qualify as a milestone.

tl;dr: Be careful publishing material that goes “too far” in discussing how to resist the regime.

And as a reminder, I do think criminal convictions and jail sentences were warranted given the acts described in the earlier article. The sentences, however, were excessive…and it’s difficult to see claims that publication of anti-establishment literature may be part of what’s being penalized when you consider some of the events that led up to the Declaration of Independence 250 years ago.
