When you are in another country, and the government decides to abuse you, detain you or even straight up execute you, there is very, very little your home count

When you are in another country, and the government decides to abuse you, detain you or even straight up execute you, there is very, very little your home country can do about it, besides complain and try to assist you with some advice (not legal advice however). They aren't going to invade another country to recover you, or do much of anything else. Even if you are American. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/international-travel/emergencies/arrest-detention.html https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/international-tra... Keep this in mind before you travel. Read travel advisories, they are not overblown, or alarmist, they are important sources of information to fully understand before you travel. https://travelmaps.state.gov/TSGMap/ https://travelmaps.state.gov/TSGMap/ https://travel.gc.ca/travelling/advisories https://travel.gc.ca/travelling/advisories https://www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice https://www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice
