We've come a long way since 1414:

"After a few weeks, his opponents succeeded in imprisoning him, on the strength of a rumor that he intended to flee".

"...the person who promised 'save passage'.. was told that he could not be bound by promises to a heretic"

"Hus was not allowed an advocate for his defense"

"..he remained [in the dungeon] for 73 days, separated from his friends, chained day and night, poorly fed, and ill."

(Edit: and he was burned at the stake).
