So are you saying that 14 years is not a long prison sentence? By the way, that is about 10% longer than the average prison sentence for bank robbery in the US

- Natsu 13y agoQuite the opposite, I'm saying that it is long, but such sentences are normal for people convicted of bank robbery.
- singold 13y agoAlso take into account that it is not the same to be in prison on a democracy that in a dictatorship.
- Natsu 13y agoWell yes, it's true that I have no way of knowing that he was actually guilty, that he got a fair trial, etc. But assuming he actually was guilty (a potentially bad assumption), then the prison sentence itself was not objectively unreasonable (it's within striking distance of an average sentence), though the prison conditions very well might have been unreasonable.
- singold 13y agoI agree that the "sentence" is probably reasonable, but I was thinking more about the prison conditions, isolation, torture, etc.
