That’s what I’m thinking.
Jailing elected officials for administrative disagreements involving conscientious objections is despotism.
Not sure how “peacefully” would apply, as it is a jail and the staff will say “no” to opening it up accordingly.
I doubt any of the guards at the jail would risk his/her life in order to keep a political prisoner in jail. They would probably stand aside in the face of an overwhelming show of force.
