Watch: political prisoner in Australia

 Thanks to Max Sargeson for contributing this video, which he explains thus:

It's a case that hasn't been reported on even locally in Australia; a man named Simeon Boikov has just been sentenced to prison apparently for publicly outing a paedophile, and being a Putin supporter. He seems to be held in "special housing" (code for solitary) and not allowed visitors because the nature of his crime makes him a national security risk. This is one of the first genuine cases of a political prisoner in Aus I'm aware of.

Note that he was charged with breaching a suppression order, rather than criminal defamation. As hushed as this all is, there has been no denial from the authorities that the named subject was, in fact, a paedophile.
