Surely they knew that ending up in jail was a very real possibility when dealing with a government like the Chinese.
Please enlighten me if I am being totally ignorant though, as I said I'm not familiar with this.

Huseyincan Celil worked to promote human rights in China in the 1990s. He was forced to flee and the UN and Canada gave him refugee status. He became a Canadian citizen. He went back to Uzbekistan to get the rest of his family out but Uzbekistan deported him back to China where he was given a life sentence.
