The teenager whose name has not been released, has been accused of stealing documents from the portal, with many of them being publicly accessible and redacted.

    This really looks like a joke. Stuff's on public display, so the kid looks at the stuff. Then he's arrested for looking. Has Russia expanded their gulags to Canada now? Or, North Korea? I don't know if China is that bad . . .

      Do you mean harvesting the organs of convicted criminals? That's great!

        I mean, they're basically convicted of practicing yoga. If you think that's a good excuse for a death sentence...
