   Countries like China signed the UN Declaration of Human Rights and went like "Yes, we agree with this, but it won't apply for criminals, of course. No one could seriously suggest such a thing."
   If the text had "even the worst criminal" in strategic places, I bet a lot of countries would've refused to sign it, because they would in fact not agree that bad people should receive fair treatment.
   In China's case, objecting to the system makes you bad, so or course you should suffer for it.

      The text is also full of uses of the word "arbitrary". No country mistreats citizens for no good reason. There is always a "good" reason. You can pretty much strike out all the articles that use the word "arbitrary", because no government sees itself as acting on a whim.
