That's the first thought that occurred to me as well, especially after reading the line "...some of the top journalists and activists...". Well, they've been under more sophisticated harrassment and abuse for close to 4 years now, but all this time... Crickets.
It is clearly wrong that people should be subjected to any abuse/torture/coordinated campaigns regardless of party associations. But forgive me for not being completely empathetic when anyone claims to have become a victim of these campaigns starting around the time of "the coup a few months ago".
