GPS/GSM bugs - a totalitarian surveillance weapon from hell[edit]

Make sure you visit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gps_tracking , and also the ongoing discussion. The latest entry which summarizes the situation is '7 Agent X2: Basically thanks - with a 'little' more'.

Please contribute, if you can, and spread the word!

Why are all the references about repression in the United States a country where compared to many other countries, past and present, there is very little government repression?

The irony that in free societies we get to complain...--Cberlet 01:01, 1 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Help, Help, I'm being repressed! Comradeash (talk) 20:20, 24 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Wikiproject Prisons[edit]

If anyone's interested, I've proposed a new wikiproject for the creation of articles regarding specific prisons here. --Cdogsimmons (talk) 01:32, 23 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Two party oppression within the USA by State[edit]

This might be an idea to show how many states and Supervisors of Elections willfully keep out third parties. We can examine each state's law, constitution, and such. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.32.144.24 (talk) 11:39, 9 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Religious repression[edit]

The article should maybe examine the phenomenon of religious repression and try to verify whether it is related to the broader issue of political repression. ADM (talk) 16:53, 15 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

NPOV problem: Anti-Western bias[edit]

I see only reports on countries in the West, their friends, allies, or non-aligned regimes. I didn't see any Communist captive nations, let alone any Communist states.

This can easily give the impression that only the non-Communist bloc has ever been repressive. --Uncle Ed (talk) 01:00, 28 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Data on human rights violation and state repression[edit]

Wikipedia is not a link farm. See WP:LINKFARM. List should be removed. Possibly placed on the talk page. Information from such databases should be incorporated into the article. --Harizotoh9 (talk) 07:11, 2 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Scope of this article[edit]

Question: Should this article cover every instance of political repression in the history of mankind? Only the most notable ones? If it is the first, this article would quickly turn into an entire overview of the history of mankind. --Harizotoh9 (talk) 07:13, 2 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Data on human rights violation and state repression[edit]

There are currently a wide variety of databases available which attempt to measure, in a rigorous fashion exactly what governments do against those within their territorial jurisdiction. The list below was created and maintained by Prof. Christian Davenport at the Kroc Institute & the University of Notre Dame. These efforts vary with regard to the particular form of human rights violation they are concerned with, the source employed for the data collection as well as the spatial and temporal domain of interest.

Global coverage[edit]

Regional coverage[edit]

Selective coverage of state repression[edit]

State repression in the non-Communist world[edit]

http://www.tamilnet.com Srilanka has been graded as one of the worst Terrorists States in the modern world. In 2009 alone the Srilanka State military has murdered around 100,000 civilians from the ethnic Tamil Minority whose country Thamil Eelam has been occupied by force by the foreign Sinhala State through terror, genocide and robbery. Bribery, rape, torture, murder, extortions and all plundering of the Tamils lives by the occupying Sinhalese are no crimes according to the Constitution of the Srilanka State

Image & Holocaust comparison[edit]

While the Holocaust is an undisputed evil and political opponents did perish, it was not organized political repression like the other examples who focus strictly on eliminating political opponents. For a Hitlerian example could we use the Night of the Long Knives? FictiousLibrarian (talk). 18:36, 4 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
