vague terms like "pro-democracy" are used leaving the readers to imagine what it means.

That's precisely why I'm curious for more details on this. This can either be an attack on democracy or just curbing extremists.

The fact I can find nothing in a language I can understand about his actual crimes is suspicious to me because that piece of information changes everything.
