The answer to that hard question is that nobody ever has the power to determine the fate of another. The only control a person of any nation should have is the one of obeying the laws of the country he lives in but only if he has the right to participate in the selection of legislators who create the laws.
Many citizens of different countries are now protesting what they believe are oppressive laws that strip them of their rights. The average citizens of several countries are expressing their displeasure against their extreme and autocratic spiritual leaders far more strongly than they previously.
In Iran what started as a rage over the hijab laws became a much-publicized protest as Iranians claimed they were fed up of the government’s corruption, economic mismanagement and the discrimination against its citizens. Today, a significant minority of females in Iran refuse to wear headdresses, putting with great risk to their lives in fierce protests against the regime and all its policies.
Women across America are also going out in the streets to protest against the oppressive policies of Republicans which are attempting limit their body as well as their health, and threaten their rights, and possibly their life.
The brave people of all over the world are participating in non-violent struggles to protect their rights and freedoms as well as fight for the cause of democracy. Some examples of such people include those who: * Leymah Gbowee who is an award-winning Nobel Peace Prize laureate from Liberia who led peaceful protests in order to end the Second Liberian Civil War in 2003 and * Ahmed Mansoor, an Emirati human rights activist who been fighting government repression using peaceful methods; * Ai Weiwei, a Chinese artist, and pro-democracy advocate who has been detained numerous times due to his activism And even the smallest of people who are walking street corners of Russia are risking of being detained.
A large number of people are walking the streets of Israel for protests against the restrictive legal reforms implemented by their dictatorial, oppressive and repressive government. Men of courage like Alexie Navalny (who after having been poisoned by Russian assassins returned to expose the injustices in Russia and was again imprisoned) are willing to risk everything in their struggle for freedom.
Conclusion
People from all nations have shown tremendous courage when facing injustice. This display of courage displayed across many nations by so many courageous individuals should give each of us the courage to be more determined in fighting to defend ourselves against the enemies within our own nation who continue to work to undermine our democracy and our democratic system of living.
