@natematias not an expert either—and I suspect that given the regular pendulum of dictatorship <-> democracy in the region, it's likely that the topic simply isn't well-developed (either judicially or academically) in the way Americans expect.
Which might be reason for American civil libertarians, resting comfortably on 250 years of history, to be humble in their assertions of what is Best in places where democracy is more precarious. But uh... that's not what I'm seeing.
