The intent is very strong, and you're very passionate about it.
My worry is about how you define a prisoner of conscience. States won't charge them and say, “You're a prisoner of conscience, so we're going to arrest you for this.” They usually make up or fabricate charges. If it's homosexuality, they'll charge under sodomy. If they're against the state or don't like the government, they'll call it sedition or treason or terrorism if they want.
How will we, sitting in Canada, determine if that person is a prisoner of conscience? If you're going completely upon the accused, then every accused in the world that is charged with any crime will want to be considered a prisoner of conscience. Nobody is going to say that they are involved in sedition, treason or terrorism. Who determines that?
