Resumo :

Everywhere, including in so-called democratic countries, demonstrating opposition to the ruling powers becomes dangerous. We won’t insist on the terrible arrests followed by torture and hangings in Iran as a result from the assassination of Mahsa Amini, stirring the revolt in the streets against the mullahs, nor on the fear that prevents opponents in China, in Russia, in Turkey to occupy the street. In France, a democratic country where this right is “normally” respected, authoritarian excesses are multiplying, especially against those who seek to prevent the pursuit of environmentally destructive projects.
