The experience of individuals living without fundamental rights—illustrated through examples from Guantanamo Bay, Kosovo, and Saudi Arabia—highlights the importance of rights in protecting citizens against oppression and ensuring democratic governance. The discussion is framed within the context of India’s own fundamental rights.
In this section, we examine the stark realities of living without rights by highlighting three significant examples: the situation of prisoners at Guantanamo Bay, the ethnic massacre of Albanians in Kosovo, and the suppression of individual rights in Saudi Arabia. Each case reflects not only the challenges faced by individuals deprived of their rights but also raises critical questions about governance and justice in democratic societies. For instance, the stories of Anas Jamil El-Banna and Batisha Hoxha serve to illustrate the personal impact of systemic violations and the absence of legal recourse. The section emphasizes that in the absence of rights, individuals endure injustice, persecution, and often brutal treatment, underscoring the necessity of established rights for the sustenance of democracy. As we move through the content, we will also reflect on the implications of these examples for human rights advocacy in India, exploring the Fundamental Rights guaranteed by the Indian Constitution and how they play a crucial role in safeguarding citizens' liberties.
