Political prisoner's rights
Political prisoners are individuals imprisoned for their political beliefs or actions rather than for committing common crimes. Their rights typically include the right to fair treatment, access to legal representation, freedom from torture, and the right to communicate with the outside world. They should not face discrimination based on their views and are entitled to political expression while incarcerated. International human rights organizations advocate for their protection, emphasizing the importance of due process and humane conditions, arguing that political opinion should not justify imprisonment. Overall, their treatment reflects broader human rights standards.
