Here's a list of countries with HR abuses during the pandemic. Most democratic contries have Human Rights provisions in their constutions.

Most European states, including Russia have also signed the European Convention on Human Rights.
- ceejayoz 6y agoChina, Poland, Turkey, Turkmenistan... All of these countries had troubling human rights issues pre-COVID.
- p1esk 6y agoPoland had HR issues?
- ceejayoz 6y agoAbsolutely. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/worldviews/wp/2018/01/27/it-could-soon-be-a-crime-to-blame-poland-for-nazi-atrocities-and-israel-is-appalled/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/worldviews/wp/2018/01/27... > Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki spoke by phone Sunday and agreed to open a dialogue to avoid further diplomatic fallout following Poland’s initial approval of a law making it a criminal offense to mention Polish complicity in crimes committed during the Holocaust. I believe they backtracked a bit on that one after the outcry. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGBT_ideology-free_zone https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGBT_ideology-free_zone > An "LGBT-free zone" (Polish: Strefa wolna od LGBT) also referred to as "LGBT free zone" (Polish: Strefa wolna od LGBT) refers to some regions of Poland which have declared themselves unwelcoming of an alleged "LGBT ideology." As of June 2020, some 100 municipalities (including five voivodships), encompassing about a third of the country, declared themselves "LGBT-free zones".
- p1esk 6y agoI’m sorry, do you seriously consider these issues to be as bad as the human rights situation in China?
- ceejayoz 6y agoYou asked "Poland had HR issues?", not "Poland had HR issues of exactly equal magnitude to China?" The highlighted issues make it clear Poland was willing to infringe on speech/expression rights even without the excuse of COVID.
- p1esk 6y agoAre there countries which don’t have HR issues?
- petre 6y agoYup. Iceland and generally nordic states, Canada.
- morceauxdebois 6y agoHow did you know that China had human rights issues?
