If you are a dissident and your government is threatening you and your family/friends and demands a public apology and to publicly recant/renounce your beliefs, would you do it? Why or Why Not? (sh.itjust.works)

They "promise" to stop harassing you if you do it. Do you take this deal?

Depends on country. For example: People's Republic of China usually lets go of small-time dissident after they publicly apologize and say that they got "tricked" by the "evil west" or something like that, at least that has been their M.O. for a while. From my understanding, and I do not support CCP btw, PRC isn't as murdery as compared to, say, Russian Federation.

(High profile ones do get disappeared tho 👀)

This question is subjective, it really depends. But I mean, if you refuse, its guaranteed a bad result, if you do, you might get off on a slap of wrist. It's your choice, and this question being vague is the entire point; so... given that you can't be certain of the results, what would you do?
