Publisher's Synopsis
"This 87-page report examines restrictive laws and policies that stifle civic and political groups and trade unions. The report shows how authorities use unjust laws to restrict freedom of association by arbitrarily rejecting registration applications and intrusively supervising independent organizations. The government takes over and dissolves--more or less at will--organizations whose leaders criticize government officials and policies, and severely limits the ability of groups to raise money and to receive foreign funding"--Provided by Publisher.
