Why do you say so? Who is this law applied to other than violent criminals?
"treason against the state, such as":
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
This is categorically false it states if you commit treason and then escape it is a crime. The key word being AND.
