"[...] you will be a sad, despised man who eats himself alive with shame at your own pathetic weakness.
You will never know peace. You will seek to lose yourself, to escape the burden of knowing the truth about yourself. But wherever you go, you will find yourself. You will torment yourself until your last day on Earth,"
This is not "criticism".
In any country on Earth, sending this to a senior law-enforcement official would not end with a polite request to fill out a voluntary statement form.
The man got the softest possible visit from the security state and came away narrating it like a dissident memoir.
