The country Iran is on the continent of Asia. Its bordered by Afghanistan and Pakistan. The person who is responsible for the abuse is Seyed Ali Khamane’I who is 66 years old and has been in power since 1990 and is ranked from last year #18. He has shut down the free press , tortured journalists, and has ordered the execution of homosexual males in his country. They do not have the freedom of press and trial by jury because they are ran by a 12 man gaurdian council and do not have the freedom of religion and sexuality.
Some of the countries that don't celebrate the 4th of july is Sudan, North Korea, and Burma,Myanmar, because they are not an independent nation yet and are ruled under dictatorship.
A dictator is a head of a statewhich exercieses tries to tell people what to do and has athourity over others lives.while the three worst from 2005 retained their places,two on the last years list have slipped out of the top 10 its not because ehtier their conduct has improved but because other dictators have gotten worse.

ReplyDeleteA Roman dictator was the incumbent of a political office of the Roman Republic. Roman dictators were allocated absolute power during times of emergency. Their power was originally neither arbitrary nor unaccountable, being subject to law and requiring retrospective justification. There were no such dictatorships after the beginning of the 2nd century BC, and later dictators such as Sulla and the Roman Emperors exercised power much more personally and arbitrarily A government controlled by one person or a small group of people. In this form of government the power rests with one person. Such power is often obtained forcibly. A dictator usually takes away much of people's freedom.
ReplyDeleteIn contemporary usage, dictatorship refers to an autocratic form of absolute rule by leadership unrestricted by law, constitutions, or other social and political factors within the state.

Iran
ReplyDeleteIran is located in central Asia. The countries that border it are Armenia, Azerbaijan, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq, and Turkey. The leader of their country is Seyed Ali Khamane’i. - Pakistan is to take up alleged human rights violations by security forces in India-administered Kashmir during Indian External Affairs Minister S.M. Krisha's upcoming visit to the country, Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi said on Thursday. Briefing reporters during a function held in his native Multan, Qureshi said the issue would figure in the parleys to be held with Krishna during the latter's July 15 visit. "We have raised our voice about the human rights violations there and we will continue to do so. When the Indian Foreign Minister comes here soon, that will be the proper occasion to direct his attention towards the incidents occurring in Srinagar and the (Kashmir) valley," Qureshi said. The border state of Jammu and Kashmir has bedeviled relations between the two nuclear-armed neighbors who fought two full-scale wars over the region. New Delhi has accused Islamabad of fomenting trouble in the Kashmir valley which has been dismissed by the latter as mere anti-Pakistan
