EXCLUSIVE: Naomi Wu and the Silence That Speaks Volumes
(www.hackingbutlegal.com)
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Never heard of her, but why can't her partner (Kaidi?) leave? Can't they sneak across the border and start a new life I dunno... in Europe, Australia, Japan, or something?
You're looking at it from a logical view,
The answer is pretty much that her partner is a minority that the state hates, so they want to punish that person and anyone who supports her,
And it's just that. Perhaps they could escape, but I presume they both have family there, and then they may not be able to return, etc.
