I don’t know if you’re being serious or not, but I can’t imagine doing something, knowingly, that would cause emotional distress to a loved one.

You have to consider the effort that someone else in your family will have to go through in order to attempt to get you freed from a country under a hostile dictatorship.

Again, perhaps this is worth the risk. I wouldn’t want any of my family travelling anywhere to see me, if it puts their life or freedom at risk. This isn’t a movie.
