The 10 Dictatorships Judging The World On Human Rights (Yes, You Read That Right)

Who would have thought these countries, which have ZERO respect for their own citizens, are now judging everyone else at the Human Rights Council? It would be funny if it wasn't so ludicrous. #BURN

1. Morocco

Not the Pope or Halloween in Casablanca. This is the King of Morocco. He's worth 2.5 billion. His family has ruled since 1666 and occupies the Western Sahara. Morocco built a wall around this with the longest minefield in the world. Oh, and freedom of expression? Nah, that's for suckers in the West.

2. China

Imagine not being able to attend your own NOBEL PRIZE Ceremony. Yeah, that happened to this guy, cause the Chinese dictatorship doesn't much like him and wouldn't let him leave. See the empty chair in the pic above. Any doubts about why China shouldn't be on the Human Rights Council?

3. Kazakhstan

Any questions? Didn't think so. Moving on...

4. Kuwait

You think it would be nice to have tea with this nice bespectacled Grandpa? Think again, he's the ruling Emir of Kuwait and his family's been at it since 1756. Yeah, that's before the US independence. If you happen to offend Grandpa, BTW, you'll go to jail.

5. Pakistan

This is Mukhtar Mai. She was raped by 14 men, as ordered by the village council in a remote village of Pakistan. She took the case to the Supreme Court and it acquitted 13 of the 14 men who raped her. When the verdict was announced, people clapped. Like celebrated that this would go unpunished. That's Pakistan for you. When I wrote about it, I called it like it is: Monsters Rule in Pakistan; Rape is Public Policy.

6. Saudi Arabia

This is Manal al-Sharif. One of my favorite women in the whole world. BUT SHE CAN'T DRIVE IN HER OWN COUNTRY just cause she's a woman. Read my take: Where Driving Is a Crime and Speaking About It Leads to Death Threats.

7. UAE

Well, now back to the rulers who oppress all these women and men. Remember these guys (and they're always guys) sit on the Human Rights Council. This is the "President" of the UAE. His smug face? Oh you know just what's needed to repress people rights so he can be in power.

8. Vietnam

A video to break the monotony. Vietnam is still a communist dictatorship, if you didn't know.

9. Cuba

Oh Cuba, Cuba, Cuba. 55 Years of your Communist Dictatorship. WITH WHAT RIGHT DO YOU JUDGE HUMAN RIGHTS? With what right? Oh yeah, you were elected to the human rights council by your buddies. Well that doesn't give you a free pass. We'll shame you at least for these women in white whom you repress and repress and repress every single Sunday. #4Shame

10. Venezuela

This is Leopoldo Lopez, the Mandela of Venezuela "handing himself in." What's even worse is that Venezuela is trying to spread its brand of soft dictatorship around South America and the world. Who are this dictator's friends? Assad, Putin and the late Gaddafi. #DownwithMaduro #SOSVENEZUELA
