1. North Korea
As it is usual when it comes to lists of countries with the least amount of personal or political freedoms, North Korea also tops the list of countries without freedom of assembly. The Pyongyang regime strongly discourages any public gatherings, unless they are organized in order to celebrate the country’s leadership. ‘Treason against the Fatherland,’ and ‘treason against the people” are common charges that usually result in the death penalty or a long stint in one of correctional facilities or gulags.
