This week saw protests of politicians, harsh punishments and artists being censored.
In the States we saw the Republican candidate Donald Trump interrupted by Hispanic protesters after his previous comments where he called Mexican migrants rapists and murderers.
In Iran human rights advocates are trying to prevent two Iranian poets from receiving 99 lashes each for shaking hands with members of the opposite sex.
Lastly, Chinese artist and political activist Ai Weiwei made headlines when he reported that Lego had refused to supply bulk orders of Lego bricks for an art installation he was creating. Supporters then created the hashtag #LegosForWeiwei to source Lego bricks from the public instead.
