Freedom House sees disturbing global decline in democracy

Freedom House sees disturbing global decline in democracy 


New York: Global freedom has suffered a disturbing decline with 60 per cent of the world's population, or 2.6 billion people, living in countries that are not completely free, according to a report released today. Freedom House's annual study which evaluated the state of freedom in 195 countries and 15 territories determined that 61 countries became less free in 2014, while just 31 saw freedoms improve.

The report said terrorism had a devastating impact in the Middle East and West Africa, with groups massacring both security forces and civilians, taking foreigners hostage and killing or enslaving religious minorities.

Syria, where a civil war is in its fourth year and the Islamic state terrorist group has extended its reach, was ranked among the world's worst countries.

But Tunisia was an exception in the region. After holding democratic elections under a new constitution, the North African country became the Arab world's only country to gain the status of "Free."

The report also cited Russia's annexation of Ukraine's Crimea region. Crimea, which was evaluated separately for the first time, received the "Not Free" status as Tartars and others who opposed Russia's annexation were deprived of their rights.
