In recent years, I've seen articles about Tor being blocked in China,
Ethiopia, Iran, Pakistan and Saudi Arabia. But I don't recall anything
specific about people being prosecuted for using Tor. I suspect that
active persecution is most likely in fundamentalist Islamic nations.

Although Tor is certainly not illegal in the US, Yahoo! Answers has
deleted a question about the issue

And using Tor certainly attracts NSA's attention
