I agree that one should respect other countries law, from their point of view. But when you are not allowed (read killed) to protest against the ones who decides the law, that is a big problem whatever the laws are.

Democracy is not only about majority votes, it is about free speech, the ability to review and criticize the government. It is about that the people do not get censored information but where the people are the bosses of the government, not the other way around.
