         Concrete examples to verify such claims please? Also in civilized countries such things are decided by the justice system, not the government (which to the surprise of many simple minded people - like a certain US president and his fanbase - is independent from the government).

            In what universe is the judiciary not part of the government?

               It is, but in casual conversation, “government” often means the people/party currently in power (of the executive and/or legislature).
