Nevemind Baras is actually kinda wholesome I feel bad for judging him so quickly

ceased -> no longer happening
seized -> investigators abducted, their notes taken
probably the the former, but the latter would also work as a plot hook :-)

Most people in the world are actually decent people. Sometimes it becomes hard to remember this fact, however, because the bastards of the world, including those in power, like to promote their vile bile as if it was the norm.

Seized can also be used for something ceasing to function or coming to a halt. It's not likely what's meant here and tends to be used for machines or the like but technically it works here.

While "seized" as in "seized up" is technically, pedantically, valid, I do believe the intended word here was "ceased" yes
Ceased, not seized.
