Democratic erosion is a recent issue on the rise across the globe. As some democracies face increasing authoritarian leaders, authoritarian leaders themselves continue to tighten their grip.
In this two-part interview, GJIA discusses political imprisonment, a comment tool of authoritarian leaders, with Katie LaRoque, Deputy Director for Policy and Advocacy at Freedom House. GJIA covers the brutal experience of political imprisonment, why and how it is used, and how Katie, Freedom House, and NGOs across the world are fighting for its release.
This is a two-part discussion which includes topics about incarceration, the treatment of prisoners, and the separation of families, which may be difficult for some listeners.
