Question

In a dictatorship the citizens of a country are persecuted if any attempt is made to criticize the government in power. The above instance serves as an example of the violation of which right of the common people

Answer 1

Answer: It is an example of the violation of two basic human rights of the common people, the right to freedom of speech and the right to freedom of expression.

Explanation:

The United Nations Charter on Human Rights states that every human has the right to express themselves without duress and pressure in a way which that person believes to be appropriate. By causing a hindrance in the way of people expressing their opinions which may go against a dictatorship, any persecution will violate these two rights of the common people.
