Dictators, despots, military governments, and other assorted gangsters, have always imprisoned satirists or had them 'dealt with.' Look at Communist Poland for example.
The irony is, that when these regimes fall apart, the human detritus that formed these regimes in the first place and their supporters are nearly always shown to be buffoons. One prime example springs to mind.
