The freedom of assembly is one of the essential civil and political rights. The right of people to publicly protests the government and its action has been enshrined in the United States Constitution by the Founding Fathers and is considered a basis for political activism. Many of the countries today, including those on our list, have similar provisions in their constitutions, but not all of them apply them. Attacks on freedom of assembly are usually expected from some countries, but some countries claiming to be democratic have recently passed laws that make protesting the government quite hard. Insidermonkey experts made a list of 11 countries without freedom of assembly.
We have picked two countries from their list. The first country is
Egypt, and to tell you the truth I’m not surprised. Egypt seems
determined not to allow the rerun of Tahrir Square protests that rocked
the country during the Arab Spring. With the military firmly in control,
every gathering must be approved by the authorities and few, if any,
are ever approved. The United Arab Emirates are in a peculiar situation
when it comes to the freedom of assembly. The citizens don’t really
organize any protests, but foreign workers, who outnumber the native
population often try to organize strikes and sit ins in public. You can
