These are forced disappearances. The videos look exactly like those from any autocracy. They remind me of my work on forced disappearances and targeted killings in Egypt in 2015. If I learned anything from this research it's that being silent doesn't protect you from becoming a target yourself.

They're not even uniformed officers. Just secret police thugs in hoodies and masks.
