The discrepancies in the exchange, which could become important as the criminal prosecution moves forward, are summarized in police documents that lay out the basis for charging Brown and his bodyguard with punching a man outside a Washington hotel in October.

Jeon Seong-Jin, a 26-year-old dentist, is being punished for a crime that is not a crime at all in most of the world. A Jehovah’s Witness, he has refused to become a soldier in South Korea, where all able-bodied male citizens are required to serve about 21 months in the army.

Eritrea comes in second with only about 50 imprisoned, according to the official website of Jehovah’s Witnesses, who often refuse military service because they believe the Bible forbids warfare.
