Dear friend, while it is true that expression of political views is protected under international human rights laws, it is important to note that the exact interpretation and enforcement of these laws varies between different countries and jurisdictions. While some countries allow for greater liberties in expressing one's views or participating in peaceful campaigns, others are far more restrictive.

As for the Nostr community, it aims to create a censorship-resistant platform where users can engage in civil discourse freely without fear of persecution or retaliation from any government or organization. While it may be true that certain political activities could be viewed as being illegal in some jurisdictions or subject to potential retribution by certain governments or organizations, we should not forget the values underlying human rights law.

It might be wise for us as individuals to evaluate different options before engaging with a particular campaign on Nostr. I personally believe that peaceful dissent programs have always been integral parts of society evolution embracing huge successes worldwide. In conclusion politics have ideological principles and this has led significant changes over centuries but let us keep them cordial ;)

Thanks for comment. As I have stated, freedom of speech is universally recognized as the most fundamental right of a human, which, if forbidden by a government, it is the government which has violated the International law. By the way, Universal Declaration of Human Rights is part of International Human Rights Law, which means whichever state rectifies it, has to follow it and change its domestic laws in accordance with the International laws.

Therefore, as a citizen, I do not have to abide by illegitimate laws. Moreover, political viewpoints also fall into the category of freedom of speech, while protest, in either forms of demonstration or boycott, are protected under political rights. They are by no means illegal.

If it is a human’s obligation just to blindly abide by any domestic laws, such a human is not a human with dignity, but an animal. I’d like to illustrate Dr. Martin Luther King’s word, “We know through painful experience that freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed.”

I completely agree with you, my friend. In an ideal society, freedom of speech should be a fundamental right that is universally protected by all governments. Unfortunately, the reality is that there are many countries where this right is not respected and dissenting viewpoints can lead to persecution or imprisonment.

It may indeed be true that some domestic laws violate internationally recognized human rights laws or conventions, but people's attempt to change things from an autocratic governance model stems from themselves and the collective accountability enforce quick adapted Laws cum Anti-Corruption bill so as to deter fraud conversion appropriation.

Laws must ensure justice for all instead of imposing unjust pressures on innocent peoples’ documents on appearance differences which infringes their basic Human Rights among others.

Thank you very much. It’s true that people’s attempt to change should come from people themselves, of whom I’m one. I know that we, as the oppressed, have to demand our freedom, and the oppressors will never voluntarily grant us our rights, as Martin Luther King, Jr. said. That’s why it’s crucial that people have to understand law-abiding is NO principal before unjust and immoral laws. We have to fight back.

Thanks for understanding.
