The instance described above serves as an example of the violation of the right to freedom of speech and expression. In a dictatorship, the government often controls the flow of information and suppresses any form of dissent or criticism. This impinges on the citizens' ability to freely express their thoughts, opinions, and concerns about the government and its policies without fear of persecution or reprisal. When citizens are persecuted for criticizing the government, it is a direct violation of basic human rights that are protected in democratic societies and outlined in international human rights legislation, such as the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR).
