My question is, how easily could something like this happen here?
My opinion is those two countries are not very, how shall I say, nice places.

What is wrong with Turkey?

Human rights issues and internet censorship last I heard.

You’re not confusing them with China and Qatar? I know lots of people that go to Turkey frequently and have only good things to report back. If it wasn’t for the language barrier I would’ve had it on my list of countries to emigrate to.

Fair enough.

I just don't think that makes it right to make the people suffer even more.

Maybe Qatar.
Well I am planning a trip there next year maybe, but I was under the impression they had an opressive government. Oh well, if I am wrong that's OK
