    “treason against the state, such as”:

    • (1) by betraying the State and escaping to another country or
    • (2) surrendering
    • (3) defecting
    • (4) giving over secrets

    1 implies that escaping to another country is a betrayal of the state. 2 and 3 involve no violent criminal acts. 4 isn’t violent, although it is the only item on the list that might make sense.

      I replied to another comment but to reiterate

      1 implies that escaping to another country is a betrayal of the state

      This is categorically false it states if you commit treason and then escape it is a crime. The key word being AND.
