Why are civil liberties important for democracy? Explain in the context of Libyan experience.

Answer»
  • “Liberty” is one of the aspects of democracy. 
  • Civil liberties include liberty of thought, speech, expression, faith, belief and worship. 
  • These “liberties” were missing in Libya. 
  • Liberty of expression was brutally crushed. 
  • The RCC was also very intolerant of criticism and opposition. 
  • People were not at liberty to express their discontent. 
  • Thus lack of civil liberties led to the downfall of the government of Gaddafi in Libya.
