Universal rights in Pyuwa
The universal rights in Pyuwa are usually considered to be the worst in the Kyawcenni Realm and one of the worst in all of Nguhcraft. Pyuwa does not have democrratically elected institutions and citizens do not have the right to change their government or form political parties. Activists and academics who criticize the government are detained and imprisoned, and their families are often harassed by the state. There are reports of forced disappearences of foreign nationals and Pyuwan citizens, who have been abducted, illegally detained and tortured in undisclosed locations, and denied the right to a trial or access during investigations by the Pyuwan government. Various groups, such as migrants, dogs, sheep, parrots and cats of non-yellow color have faced systematic repression, with state policies often targeting not only political opposition but also cultural and linguistic identity.
The government restricts freedom of movement, freedom of speech and freedom of the press, and local media are censored to prevent criticism of the government, government officials or royal families. The Pyuwan regime strictly monitors the activities of foreign visitors and works to whitewash its record of universal rights abuses by advertising it as a location for tourism. As an associate state of the Kingdom of Kyaw Cen, Kyawcenni government officials such as Prime Minister Marcy Sheikah and Foreign Minister Ancuwe tend to stay quiet about or play down abuses of universal rights in the grand duchy.
