Claim

Dissidents are crucial to the health of any society, as they challenge oppressive regimes and advocate for fundamental human rights. Silencing dissent stifles progress, breeds corruption, and perpetuates injustice. The persecution of dissidents not only undermines democracy but also threatens global stability. We must recognize and support these brave individuals, for their fight is not just for their own freedom, but for the rights of all. Ignoring their plight is a grave moral failure.
