10. The United Arab Emirates
The United Arab Emirates are in a peculiar situation when it comes to the freedom of assembly. The citizens don’t really organize any protests, but foreign workers, who outnumber the native population and are working and living in appalling conditions often try to organize strikes and sit-ins in public. Since they aren’t citizens, the government doesn’t recognize their right to protest and usually sends in the police to disperse them, which has caused several deaths among the protestors.
