give an instance where citizens were deprived of their rights?

Question

i guess the question says it all

Answer 1

well yes, the answer really says it all.citizens are deprived of their rights usually those who are poor people,they treat them as slaves,they wont get proper work with satisfaction,they are not treated properly,if also they reach to a point of job....their salary would be so less that their work wouldn't satisfy their family though they can show thier hidden talents in them.Its a universal fact that every person in world has some talent in them.they dont get that chance to reveal their talents.

besides this,
And i think ... even the young adults or teenagers are deprived of their liberty . too much would be too bad ,they must not deprive all the things from an individual.some parents dont allow thier children to go out and enjoy,some are damn strict that they would only give thier child's marriage to their choice,some will never accept the opportunity their cildren have got,some would not allow to go out for the tounaments itself...though they can become a excellent player.i think ech and every individual should have these rights especially about the marriage.

Answer 2

The most obvious instance would be African Americans during the era of slavery. Of course, even after the civil war and reconstruction period African Americans were still deprived of their basic human rights well into the 1960's.

In contemporary times the patriot act is a good example too. Under the USA Patriot Act a person can be arrested without a warrant, deprived of the right to speak to an attorney and be deprived of his personal property without due process, all of which violates the fourth amendment of the constitution.

You can also research a myriad of supreme court cases under and find enough info to keep you occupied for a while.

Answer 3

WW11 the Chinese interim camps and just last week a federal judge ruled that 200 protesters in Seattle 1999 were deprived of their civil liberties by FEMA. The 2000 election was an embarrassment all over the world when millions of voters were deprived of a)voting in Florida due to illegal purges.
Then the final slap to liberty, the stopping of the counting of votes by a supreme judge appointed by Poppy Bush.
It has been shown since then that any way you count Gore won.
Yet we are still in a bogus war.rrrrr I just get mad. These were only a couple off the top of my head, I am already thinking of many more but alas I will leave it with these few ....Mary.

Answer 4

There are laws in place which if abused could definitely effect the civil rights of citizens. We should be vigilant against abuses of power, but what you will find if you challenge people to actually show cases of legitimate abuse they almost always fall short of any actual verifiable fact. We are not seeing large scale abuses of civil rights and this is a fact.

Frann B: Cindy Sheehan was arrested for violating House Rules against demonstrations in the gallery. She was asked to cover her shirt and obey the rules. If she had done so she would not have been arrested. Now for the rest of the story. This was not a one-sided deal aimed solely at Sheehan. Beverly Young, wife of Bill Young, the representative from Florida was removed from the gallery on the same night for wearing a shirt which read "Support Our Troops". In short people are required to follow the law even when they are protesting. When the law is applied equally without prejudice is not a violation of anyone's civil rights.

Answer 5

In the previous decade 2 countries namely afghanistan and iraq became victims of wars which were fought by the united states of america in the name of ending terrorism and developing democracies there, but in the whole transaction innocent citizens of these countries were targeted, deprived of their rights and even the basic amenities of life .It became a virtual living hell for them with no shelter , food, and even clothing. The other instance can be witnessed in our country india where terrorist groups are still active in the north eastern states. Here ignorance and superstition are wide spread and their voices against the injustice are suppressed. a minor example is that even in this 21st century when cars have succeeded in reaching speeds of over 400 km/hr, the life of poor widows is still at a stand still. Widow remarriage is still viewed as something hellish. THIS HAS TO BE STOPPED AT ALL COSTS.

Answer 6

The classic example would be the interment of Japanese-Americans during WWII.

As for Cindy Sheenan - at the same time she was asked to leave another person was being asked to leave because he was wearing a "Support The Troops" t-shirt. it was nothing more than a rule that was being impartially applied to all.

And for the wiretapping. Even the newspaper that broke the story admitted that the wiretapping was in accordance with the intelligence oversight laws. What is happening is that people are trying to make you think that the laws regarding evidence admissible in court applied.

These rules allow espionage agencies to monitor anybody for whom there is probable cause that they are connected to terrorism or a hostile intelligence service. Since the monitoring was only performed on calls made to or from phone numbers associated with Al Quaeda - I do not see any issue here. The only drawback to this is that any information gained is not admissible in court.

Answer 8

Japanese Americans in WW Two were denied their rights, including Habeus corpus.

Americans are denied their rights under the Second Amendment all the time and people do not care, not even the bleeding heart ACLU.

The "Drug seizure" laws allow property to be taken without due process. You can lose your car and not even be charged with a crime.

You have a "right" to abort an innocent fetus but if you want to exercise your right to end your own life, they call you nuts and lock you up.

Many Americans are denied their right to trail by being declared insane and just locked up. Look at the guy who shot up the Jewish Center in Seattle or the guy who went on a hit and run rampage in California. Both were declared sane and got no trial.
(Definitely benefited US --Muslim relations as these two guys did not get the opportunity to share with us how Allah said it was OK for them to kill non-believers.)

Answer 9

I suppose that it all depends on what citizens you are talking about. An example would be all the Jews that were killed by Hitler during the WW2. They were given no chance to defend themselves, thus they were deprived of thier human rights. If you were arrested and not allowed to call a lawyer before you went to court, you would be deprived of your right to council.

Answer 10

Dear Sir,

The Nithari case is most depriving not only nithari citizens but for the whole country. The person Moninder Singh, his colleague and the responsible cops who handled the case carelessly are all from Indian land where the children are considered to be GOD.

It is very awful such things happening in our surroundings.
