Nation specific
The nations listed below include those rated the most oppressive (Not Free, and 7 out of 7 in both political rights and civil liberties) by the organization Freedom House, for 2000-2001. We also intend to collect links for democracy groups active with the other nations rated as Not Free, and also the countries rated Partly Free, since many of them are effectively dictatorships as well; Malaysia, for example.
