Authoritarian leaders across the world use the same strategy to gain power and keep control. Democracies are often eroded from within, step by step. How can we recognize attacks on democracy and learn to stand up against them?

Meet three people with experience from living under authoritarian rule, and one of Norway’s leading democracy researchers.

• Ramon Barreto, lawyer, political scientist and activist from Venezuela. Barreto is a PhD Candidate at Oslo Met and member of Norwegian Venezuelan Justice Alliance (NorVen).  

• Hamidreza Mohammadi, teacher and translator from Iran and the brother of Narges Mohammadi, Nobel Peace Prize laureate 2023. Narges Mohammadi received the prize for her fight for women’s rights and human rights in Iran and is imprisoned by the regime.
